Trump Highlights Gaza Humanitarian Crisis, Signals US Support For Aid.
US President Donald Trump addressed the dire situation in the Gaza Strip on Friday, noting that “a lot of people are starving” due to an Israeli blockade hindering aid deliveries. Speaking from Washington, he emphasised the United States’ desire to help ease the suffering of Gaza’s residents.
The blockade, enforced by Israel, has severely restricted the flow of food, medical supplies, and other essentials, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in the region. President Trump’s remarks signal a potential shift in US engagement with the issue, as he underscored the need for action to address the plight of civilians caught in the conflict.
While specific plans for US involvement were not detailed, the statement has sparked hope among aid organisations seeking greater international support for Gaza. The White House is expected to provide further updates on potential initiatives to facilitate humanitarian assistance.
