Trump says there is ‘real starvation’ in Gaza and U.S. will set up food centers

London – President Donald Trump said on Monday that there was a “real famine” in Gaza, breaking with Israel while the American ally faces intense pressure to lift restrictions using hunger that spreads in the besieged enclave.

His comments occurred in the middle of the world indignation for the death of malnutrition under the military offensive of Israel on the territory.

Israeli defense forces began limited breaks in the fighting in three populated areas of Gaza on Sunday for 10 hours a day. But help groups have warned that the aid net entering the enclave is not enough to avoid famine.

‘These children look very hungry’

Speaking in Scotland, Trump said the United States would create food centers in Gaza like “we have to have children nourished”. He disagreed with the evaluation of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that there is “no famine in Gaza”.

Trump said that he had seen images of Palestinians on television and that “these children look very hungry”. He later added that the scenes were a “real famine” and that “you cannot simulate this”.

His opinions were reproduced by vice-president JD Vance, who, in response to a question from NBC News, during a trip to Canton, Ohio, said that Trump administration was “very worried about the humanitarian problem in Gaza” and wanted to make sure that hungry children had food.

The partial relaxation of Gaza restrictions under the new cycle of “tactical breaks” did not do much to suppress fears concerning the crisis of hunger in a spiral.

“These are progress, but large amounts of aid are necessary to avoid famine and a catastrophic health crisis,” warned the United Nations Emergency Rescueur coordinator Tom Fletcher, in a press release.

Sunday help deliveries were a “drop in the ocean” and the coming days will be “to do or break” to contact the hunger crisis, Fletcher told Fletcher British Broadcaster BBC News on Monday.

His warnings were Echo by others like the Palestinian Ministry of Health in the enclave said on Monday that 14 deaths in the last 24 hours have been allocated to “famine and malnutrition”, with two children among people killed.

This has brought the total number of deaths due to malnutrition up to 147, including 88 children, since the start of the war, said the Ministry of Health, most of those registered in recent months, according to the United Nations. NBC News has not been able to independently confirm the figures.

Trump, speaking on each side of a meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in his golf station in Turnberry, Scotland, said that the United States would work with its European partners to address the Gaza crisis. He offered some other details on the plan.

Humanitarian groups and doctors have warned malnutrition of malnutrition in Gaza for weeks, Israel allowing only a “basic” quantity of food since May when it launched its blockade prohibiting entry to the enclave aid.

Just under 30 aid packages carrying food was broadcast on Gaza on Sunday, Cogat, the link of the Israeli army with the Palestinians, in a press release.

The video captured by the NBC News crew on the ground has shown that dozens of Palestinians heading towards a handful of parachutes dotting the sky in northern Gaza, which, according to Cogat, was broadcast in collaboration with the United Arab Emirates and Jordan.

Abdul Rahman al-Kahlout, 18, said he was waiting for hours under the flamboyant sun in the hope of reaching supplies before exhausting.

“We died in the sun for four hours,” said Al-Kahlout. He described shots drawn and soldiers surrounding the Palestinians while waiting several times to help him. He said he feared “die for flour”.

More than 1,000 people, including children, were killed by Israeli forces while waiting and trying to reach aid since a new distribution system was implemented in late May, led by the controversial group of the United States and the group supported by the United States, Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.

Gaza health officials said the Israeli attacks had killed at least 41 Palestinians from the end of Saturday to Sunday, including 26 people who asked for help, the Associated Press reported.

Faced with increasing pressure from the world community,, Israel sought to justify both its restrictions and the introduction of a new distribution system by arguing that Hamas has diverted the help of civilians in the enclave throughout the war.

But an internal analysis of the American government has found no evidence of systematic theft of assistance supplies by Hamas, According to a report presented to the officials of the State Department and later seen by NBC News. The FDI rejected the report as “biased”.

The World Food Program said on Sunday that it had enough food in and on its way to the region to feed the whole population of Gaza “for almost three months,” if it is allowed to do so, because it has warned that “third party” is still “does not eat for days”.
