A coalition of more than 20 foreign policy and human rights groups sent a letter to President Joe Biden and his top advisers on Tuesday .

Without a change, the Biden administration’s policy will “continue to cause devastating harm and risk making the United States complicit in war crimes, the letter says.

The timing of the letter is significant.

The amount of relief aid entering Gaza has plummeted since Israel took full control of the territory’s borders in May .

Aid workers “routinely come under fire” and 96% of residents lack sufficient food, the letter says.

Watchdogs and news outlets have tied Israeli strikes that killed dozens of Palestinians to U.S.-provided bombs, it adds.
