Starvation Crisis in Gaza: Trump's Call for Humanitarian Intervention

U.S. President Donald Trump has raised concerns about the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, urging Israel to enhance its aid efforts as Palestinian families face dire starvation and malnutrition. Recent measures by Israel, including pauses in military operations, have been met with international skepticism as deaths from hunger increase.

Gaza's health ministry reports a growing number of deaths due to starvation, exacerbating international criticism of Israel's policies in the region. Trump, during a visit to Scotland, expressed his intent to collaborate with global partners to boost humanitarian aid, focusing on food and sanitation relief efforts.

While Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insists there is no policy of starvation, the World Food Programme and other agencies stress the urgent need for a steady influx of aid. With nearly half a million Gazans facing extreme conditions, the pressure on Israeli authorities to ensure aid distribution intensifies.
