As humanitarian organizations demand major increases to aid for Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said ‘there is no starvation’ in the region. U.S. President Donald Trump countered, saying the situation couldn’t be faked.

Israel and Iran have agreed a ceasefire after a twelve day conflict. Meanwhile, Israel strikes in Gaza continue with the humanitarian crisis deepening.

Israeli military planes have conducted airdrops of aid over Gaza, but humanitarian organizations describe these efforts as inadequate and potentially hazardous. Aid groups argue that the scale of assistance falls far short of what is needed to address widespread hunger, with hundreds of trucks required daily to reverse the crisis.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has denied the existence of a starvation crisis in Gaza, attributing aid shortages to alleged theft by Hamas. However, the US president has publicly disagreed, stating that real starvation is evident among children in the region. Ceasefire negotiations remain stalled, with international leaders expressing increasing urgency over the situation.

Netanyahu dismisses Gaza’s hunger concerns, Trump pushes back

Aid groups say they're a grotesque distraction, a drop in the ocean. But for the second day running, military planes over Gaza dropped aid from the sky. From the ground, their arrival is a welcome sight. If hazardous, they could literally kill. And it's not enough for the starvation of the Palestinian people, says Ahmed El Silqawi. With growing international pressure to act, Israel said it would pause fighting daily in three areas to allow aid to flow. For the first time in months, it also allowed airdrops and released video to highlight its own. This humanitarian called airdrops a joke. It excites diplomats and journalists because they're very photogenic. But they don't help families and aid workers to avert famine. Israel has restricted the flow of aid since March. And aid groups say it will take hundreds of trucks a day to reverse the resulting mass starvation. On Sunday, Israel's prime minister denied the crisis, accusing Hamas of stealing aid. What a bold-faced lie. There is no policy of starvation in Gaza. And there is no starvation in Gaza. Thank you very much, Mr. President. On Monday, the U.S. president disagreed. Some of those kids, that's real starvation stuff. I see it. And you can't fake that. With ceasefire talks stalled, Donald Trump noted he also told Benjamin Netanyahu he may need a different way to bring the remaining 50 Israeli hostages, dead and alive, home. With the conflict ongoing, a ceasefire seems distant. But for world leaders, it seems it's also become urgent. Nala Ayyad, CBC News, London.
