Trump said the facilities would be open-access, with “no boundaries” and “no fences,” and framed the effort as a direct response to the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Gaza. “That’s real starvation stuff,” he said. “I see it, and you can’t fake that. So, we’re going to be even more involved.”

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, fuelling international criticism of Israel over sharply worsening conditions.

President Donald Trump has expressed concern over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, urging Israel to ensure food reaches the people there.

The president described the food crisis in the enclave as a “terrible situation,” and said the U.S. would set up food centers and fund the effort along with European nations.

President Trump said yesterday that there was “real starvation” in Gaza, disagreeing with a recent assertion by Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, that the territory had sufficient food.

Some of those kids are — that’s real starvation stuff. I see it, and you can’t fake that,” Trump said Monday about the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza, breaking with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

President Trump disagreed with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's claim that no starvation is taking place among the people of Gaza.

Asked about Gaza, the president expressed disappointment about not receiving sufficient thanks for the United States’ aid shipments.
