Trump Urges Israel to Deliver Food to Gaza Amid Starvation Crisis

Scotland – July 28, 2025 — U.S. President Donald Trump has called on Israel to ensure humanitarian aid reaches civilians in Gaza, marking a shift in tone as harrowing images of starving children trigger global outrage.

Speaking in Scotland alongside U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Trump acknowledged the worsening situation in Gaza, stating, “I want to make sure they get the food.” He added that Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “has got to sort of like run it” and ensure aid is delivered.

Trump also announced the U.S. will begin setting up food distribution centers in Gaza, though no details were immediately provided by the White House. The announcement comes amid mounting criticism over Gaza’s starvation crisis, with international bodies and rights groups describing the conditions as dire.

While Trump stopped short of directly challenging Netanyahu’s claim that “there is no starvation in Gaza,” he noted, “Based on television, I would say not particularly because those children look very hungry.”

The remarks reflect a departure from Trump’s recent comments, where he expressed resignation over stalled ceasefire talks and said Israel would “have to clean it up.” Now, he says humanitarian action must take priority: “We have to get the kids fed.”

The Israeli military has recently begun airdrops and limited ceasefires to allow for aid distribution, but many say it's far from enough. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi publicly urged Trump to use his influence to halt the war and ensure aid delivery.

Starmer, meanwhile, called the situation “desperate” and urged greater humanitarian effort. He reiterated the U.K.’s support for a two-state solution, while Trump declined to comment on Palestinian statehood.

The developments come as the U.N. General Assembly holds a high-level session to discuss peace efforts — a meeting boycotted by both Israel and the U.S.
