Gaza experimenting ‘real hunger,’ says Donald Trump

Donald Trump has said, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted that there was no such thing.

When asked if I agreed with Netanyahu that was a “bold face lies” to say that Israel was feeding hunger in Gaza, the president of the United States replied: “I don’t know … those children seem very hungry … that is a real things of starvation.”

Speaking during a meeting with the United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Scotland, Trump said: “No one has done anything great there. The whole place is a disaster … I told Israel that they might have to do it in a different way.”

His comments occurred after the UN humanitarian chief said that “large amounts” of food were necessary to avoid hunger.

Tom Fletcher told the BBC that he welcomed Israel’s measures during the weekend to allow greater help to Gaza in the form of aerial drugs, and military pauses to allow food convoys to reach people.

But he said that what had been delivered so far was only “a drop in the ocean” of what was required.

“It is the beginning, but the next few days are really prepared or broken. We need to fulfill on a much larger scale. We need large amounts of help, much faster,” BBC today of BBC Radio 4 told program.

Israel said that 120 truck charges of the crossings were collected on Sunday during the first daily “10 -hour” hourly pause “in military operations, and that Jordan and the United Arab Emirates isolated 28 food packages.

Hours after Mr. Fletcher spoke, the Hamas Ministry of Health of the territory said that another 14 people had died as a result of malnutrition in the last 24 hours.

That brought the total number of deaths related to malnutrition since the war began in October 2023 to 147, including 88 children, according to the Ministry.

Israel, who controls the entry of all supplies to Gaza, has denied that he is hungry in Gaza and rejected the accusations of being responsible for the shortage of food.

On Sunday, the Israeli army began the actions that said they would improve the “humanitarian response” in Gaza and refuted “the false claim of deliberate starvation.”

Israel announced that there would be a “local tactical pause” in three areas of Gaza for 10 hours a day, as well as the establishment of “safe routes designated” for help convoys.

The military also allowed the falls of help carried out by foreign countries to resume, despite the fact that humanitarian agencies warn that the method was ineffective and dangerous.

The Israeli Military Corps, which coordinates the entry of aid in Gaza, said that the UN and other international organizations collected more than 120 UN help trucks and other international organizations, and that hundreds of charges were waiting for the collection.

Fletcher said the UN had collected less than 100 truck charges at that time, and pointed out that 600 to 700 charges had entered Gaza daily on average during the high two -month fire between Israel and Hamas earlier this year.

When asked to respond to Israel’s criticisms of UN agencies for not collecting help from crosses, he said: “We are not going to leave in pallets if we can. But to get to that, our drivers face bureaucratic restrictions, they face mass security restrictions.”

He also said that most UN food trucks were looted after entering Gaza on Sunday.

“Most of those trucks … were beaten by desperate individual civilians, hungry. The flour was removed from those trucks and is very, very dangerous for our drivers.”

Fletcher also warned that UN teams on the ground believed that the pauses of the Israeli army would only last a week or so, which said “clearly insufficient when before our eyes we are seeing this atrocity of the 21st century on the ground.”

“We need a sustained delivery period (weeks, months) to accumulate, to stop that starvation and accumulate supplies again. Ultimately, we need a high fire. Pauses are a good step in the right direction, but stopping the conflict is the key.”

Netanyahu knew on Sunday, statements that Israel was deliberately hungry for civilians in Gaza, which would be equivalent to a war crime.

“What a bold face lie. There is no star policy in Gaza, and there is no hunger in Gaza.” said.

“We allow humanitarian aid during the duration of the war to enter Gaza. Otherwise, there will be no gazanes. And what has exchanged the supply of humanitarian aid is a force, Hamas. Again, the reversal of truth,” he added.

Netanyahu said that the pauses and humanitarian corridors of the Israeli army meant that the UN had no “excuses” so as not to collect and distribute all the help of the crosses.

“Stop lying. Stop finding excuses. Do what you have to do.”

On Monday night, Netanyahu’s office said Israel would work with help groups, US and European nations to guarantee “large amounts of humanitarian aid flows” in Gaza.

A statement said that the “situation in Gaza is difficult”, but that Hamas “benefits when trying to feed the perception of a humanitarian crisis”, by releasing “non -verified numbers” and “circulating images that are carefully on stage or manipulated.”

The Israeli government does not allow international news organizations, including BBC, become Gaza to freely inform about the situation there.

On Sunday, the World Health Organization warned that malnutrition was “in a dangerous trajectory in the Gaza Strip, marked by an increase in deaths in July.”

Of the 74 deaths related to malnutrition in Gaza in 2025, 63 had occurred this month, including 24 children under five and a child over five years, said the UN agency.

“Most of these people were declared dead upon arrival in health centers or died shortly after, their bodies showed clear signs of severe wear,” he added.

WHO said the crisis was “completely preventable” and condemned what he called “deliberate blockade and delay in humanitarian aid and large -scale food.”

Hamas has denied robbing help, and on Sunday the New York Times cited the senior Israeli military officials saying that the military had never found evidence that the armed group had systematically stole the UN for the help of the UN. The Reuters news agency also reported last week that the analysis of the US government. Uu. He did not find evidence of systematic robbery by Hamas of Help financed by the United States.

On Monday, sources from the local hospital said Israeli attacks in Gaza had killed more than 30 people, including help search engines.

The Israeli army launched a campaign in Gaza in response to the attack led by Hamas against southern Israel on October 7, 2023, in which some 1,200 people were killed and another 251 were taken as hostages.

At least 59,821 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the Ministry of Health led by Hamas del Territoria.
