The U.S. will not change its policy on arms transfers to Israel even though the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip remains dire, the State Department says.

Tuesday 's deadline was set by Washington for Israel to meet a host of requirements aimed at boosting aid into Gaza or face restrictions on military assistance.

An average of just over 30 trucks a day have been let into Gaza in recent weeks , representing “ just over six percent of the daily needs”.

Miller declined to say whether the U.S. would go so far as to restrict military aid if the Israelis failed to meet their list of requests.

More than 43,000 people have been killed in Gaza since Israel launched its offensive in the enclave following Hamas attacks in which some 1,200 people were killed and around 250 taken hostage.
