U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday many people were starving in Gaza and suggested Israel could do more on humanitarian access, as Palestinians struggled to feed their children a day after Israel declared steps to improve supplies.
As the death toll from two years of war in Gaza nears 60,000, a growing number of people are dying from starvation and malnutrition, Gaza health authorities say, with images of starving children shocking the world and fuelling international criticism of Israel over sharply worsening conditions.
Describing starvation in Gaza as real, Trump's assessment put him at odds with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said on Sunday "there is no starvation in Gaza" and vowed to fight on against the Palestinian militant group Hamas - a statement he reposted on X on Monday.
However, Netanyahu later on Monday described the situation in Gaza as "difficult", saying his country was working to ensure aid delivery to the besieged strip.
"Israel will continue to work with international agencies as well as the U.S. and European nations to ensure that large amounts of humanitarian aid flows into the Gaza Strip," Netanyahu said, according to a statement from his office.
Trump, speaking during a visit to Scotland, said Israel has a lot of responsibility for aid flows, and that a lot of people could be saved. "You have a lot of starving people," he said.
We're going to set up food centres," with no fences or boundaries to ease access, Trump said. The U.S. would work with other countries to provide more humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza, including food and sanitation, he said.
A White House spokesperson said additional details on the food centres would be "forthcoming."

Damn. Cut & paste didn’t get all of Trump’s name.
Let’s see if this actually happens.
I have my doubts.
L
Ask to get it fixed. Only RATs do this.
Why is it our problem?
Reuters or Freeper that cut off the T?
Damned Rump! Just who does he think he is?!
They seem to be eating well in photos I’ve seen. Why break with Netanyahu on this?
Why should we be feeding our enemies? In a few years they’ll be shooting, bombing us. There all terrorists.
From a few days ago...

Who’s starving whom...?
Hint: Don’t think it’s rump.
You are right! Why is every crisis our problem.
We should withhold all funding to Israel at least until they feed and care for the Palestinians whose homes they leveled.
Biden’s point wasn’t the pontoon bridge. It was the grift. The bridge was a cost of doing business.
Sure they are. Every last one. Even the Christians. Even the children. Even the Christian children. If Israel wants them dead and scraped off the land, who are we to oppose them? All we do is fund Israel. It’s none of our business. All we do is arm them. We exist to serve them.
“Gaza (HAMAS) health authorities say,” THEY LIE
Well, if they are starving, it is because of Hamas and the UNRWA. Both LIE to support each other. They are refusing to allow Israel to dispense the UN relief food.
Both UNRWA and Hamas grift money out of the supply scam.
Don’t believe that children are starving there. Hamas is spewing propaganda.

“Why is it our problem?”
Politicians feel required to respond to “news.” We should stay as far away as possible from Gaza.
