Is the US complicit in the dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza? | Inside Story

After more than two months of war and siege, more chaotic scenes at the Rafah Crossing, as people fight to get desperately-needed humanitarian aid.
Before the war, 850 trucks entered the strip every day.
That ended when Israel imposed a complete blockade .
Israel has temporarily reopened the route through Karam Abu Salem for the first time.
24 trucks were allowed through - but that is far short of the huge needs of the Palestinians.
Should the United States be doing more to help them?
And how complicit is Washington in the humanitarian catastrophe that has unfolded?
