Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says no one in Gaza is starving: “There is no policy of starvation in Gaza, and there is no starvation in Gaza. We enable humanitarian aid throughout the duration of the war to enter Gaza – otherwise,

President Trump said the US and other nations are giving money and food to Gaza but that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has “got to sort of like run it.”

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.

On Monday, President Donald Trump urged Israel to get people living in Gaza food, adding that the U.S is also preparing to set up food centers in Gaza. Advocates from Little Rock Peace For Palestine have joined in the fight to end hunger.
