Trump: Gaza experiencing real starvation

CAIRO / GENEVA (Reuters) — US President Donald Trump said on Monday many people were starving in Gaza and suggested Israel could do more on humanitarian access, as Palestinians struggled to feed their children, a day after Israel declared steps to improve supplies.

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, Gaza health authorities say, with images of starving children shocking the world and fueling international criticism of Israel over sharply worsening conditions.

Describing starvation in Gaza as real, Trump's assessment put him at odds with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said on Sunday "there is no starvation in Gaza" and vowed to fight on against the Palestinian militant group Hamas — a statement he reposted on X on Monday.

However, Netanyahu later on Monday described the situation in Gaza as "difficult," saying his country was working to ensure aid delivery to the besieged strip.
