President Trump is making plans for the US to take over humanitarian aid distribution in Gaza as famine looms over the Palestinian enclave.
One source said it is seen as an unrealistic option because airdrops would not come close to meeting the needs of 2.1 million Palestinians.
Trump said the facilities would be open-access, with “no boundaries” and “no fences,” and framed the effort as a direct response to the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Gaza. “That’s real starvation stuff,” he said. “I see it, and you can’t fake that. So, we’re going to be even more involved.”
US president’s comments come amid warnings that expanding Israeli operations would be ‘catastrophic’ for Palestinians.
