RootsGaza has “real starvation”, Donald Trump has said, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted that there is no such thing.
Asked if he agrees with Netanyahu whether it was a “bold-affected lie”, to say that Israel was promoting hunger in Gaza, the US President replied: “I don’t know … those children look very hungry … It is real starvation stuff.”
Speaking during a meeting with the UK Prime Minister Kir Stmper in Scotland, Trump said: “No one has done anything great there. The whole place is a mess … I told Israel that they might have to do it in a different way.”
The United Nations humanitarian head said that a “huge amount of food” was required to close the starvation.
Tom Fletcher told the BBC that he welcomed Israel’s measures over the weekends to allow more assistance to Gaza in the form of aircraft, and military stagnation to allow food convoys to reach people.
But he said that what was given till now was just a “one drop in the sea” which was necessary.
“This is the beginning, but the next few days actually make or break down. We need to distribute too much, too much.
Israel said 120 lorry loads were collected from the crossing on Sunday during the first daily 10-hour “strategic break” in military operations, and Jordan and the United Arab Emirates aircraft 28 packages of food.
A few hours after Mr. Fletcher spoke, the Hamas-Interested Health Ministry of the region said that 14 people had died as a result of malnutrition in the last 24 hours.
According to the ministry, since the war began in October 2023, it was brought to the number of deaths related to total malnutrition, which included 88 children.
Israel, which controls the entry of all supply to Gaza, has denied that Gaza has starvation and has rejected allegations of being responsible for food deficiency.
On Sunday, the Israeli army initiated action, stating that it would improve the “human response” in Gaza and intentionally dislike “false claims of starvation”.
Israel announced that there would be a “local strategic break” in three areas of Gaza 10 hours a day, as well as the installation of “safe routes” nominated for the aid convoy.
The army allowed support to resume by foreign countries, waging humanitarian agencies that the method was ineffective and dangerous.
The Israeli Military Body Cogt, which coordinates the entry of assistance to Gaza, stated that more than 120 lorry loads were collected from the crossing by the United Nations and other international organizations on Sunday, and hundreds of more lorry load collections were awaiting.
Mr. Fletcher said that the United Nations had collected less than 100 lorry loads at that time, and noted that earlier this year had entered 600 to 700 loads daily during a two -month ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
To not collect assistance from the crossing, the United Nations agencies were asked to respond to the criticism of Israel, he said: “If we can do it, we are not going to leave on the palette.
He also said that most of the Food Laers of the United Nations were looted after entering Gaza on Sunday.
“Most of them were vulnerable to lorry … desperate individual citizens, dying of hunger. The flour was very dangerous for those lories and its very, our drivers.”
Mr. Fletcher also warned that the United Nations teams believe that the Israeli army will last only one or a week, which he said “would be clearly insufficient when we are watching this 21st century atrocities on the ground before our eyes”.
“We need a continuous duration of delivery – weeks, months to prevent that starvation and re -supply supply.
Netanyahu on Sunday claimed that Israel was deliberately keeping the citizens starved in Gaza, who would give the amount for the crime.
“Is there a bold-bound lie. There is no policy of starvation in Gaza, and there is no starvation in Gaza.” He said.
He said, “We enable humanitarian aid during the period of war to enter Gaza. Otherwise, there will be no ghazan. And the force in the supply of human aid is a force, a force, Hamas. Again, reversed the truth,” he said.
Netanyahu said that the humanitarian stagnation and corridors of the Israeli army meant that the United Nations had “no excuse” to gather and distribute all assistance from the crossing.
“Stop lying. Stop looking for excuses. What do you do.”
On Monday night, Netanyahu’s office stated that Israel will work with the support groups, USA and European countries to ensure “large amounts of human aid flow” in Gaza.
A statement stated that “the situation in Gaza is difficult” but Hamas “” Benefits from the attempt to fuel a human crisis “,” rejected number “and” circulating images carefully by platform or manipulation “.
The Israeli government does not allow international news organizations including BBC to report independently in Gaza.
On Sunday, the World Health Organization warned that malnutrition was “on a dangerous trajectory in the Gaza Strip, marked by a spike in deaths in July”.
The United Nations agency stated that in 2025, Gaza had 74 of 74 malnutrition -related deaths in this month, including five children and five children more than one child.
He said, “Most of these people were declared dead on reaching health facilities or died shortly after, his body showed clear signs of severe ruin,” said this.
The WHO stated that the crisis was “fully prevented” and condemned that it is “deliberately blocked and delayed for large -scale food, health and humanitarian aid”.
Hamas has denied the theft, and on Sunday, the New York Times citing senior Israeli military officials said that the army never found evidence that the armed group had stolen a systematically assistance from the United Nations. The Reuters News Agency also stated last week that there was no evidence of the theft systematic by Hamas of American-funded assistance in the analysis of the US government.
On Monday, local hospital sources said that the Israeli attacks in Gaza killed more than 30 people, including help seekers.
The Israeli army launched a campaign in Gaza on 7 October 2023 in response to the Hamas -led attack on Southern Israel, killing around 1,200 people and 251 others were taken hostage.
According to the Hamas-Interested Health Ministry of the region, at least 59,821 people have been killed in Gaza since then.
