Starvation Crisis in Gaza: Trump Criticizes Israeli Aid Efforts

U.S. President Donald Trump has highlighted the severe starvation crisis in Gaza, urging Israel to increase humanitarian aid access as Palestinians suffer from malnutrition and related deaths. With 470,000 people enduring famine-like conditions, international criticism intensifies against Israel's policies amidst ongoing conflict with Hamas.

U.S. President Donald Trump has called attention to the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, expressing concerns over starvation and urging Israel to enhance aid access. As tensions rise, images of malnutrition-stricken children are drawing global criticism against Israel's role amidst the prolonged conflict.

The conflict, which began in October 2023 after Hamas militants attacked southern Israel, has resulted in severe food shortages and access difficulties in Gaza. Despite recent measures, including humanitarian pauses and aid corridors, the situation remains dire. Gaza health authorities report a rapid increase in deaths attributed to starvation.

While Netanyahu denies a policy of starvation, Trump emphasizes the urgent need for alleviating famine-like conditions faced by 470,000 people. Efforts include potential setup of food centers and collaboration with international partners to increase aid deliveries and supply essential nutrition to impacted populations.
