Senate Democrats are imploring President Donald Trump's administration to step up its role in addressing suffering and starvation in Gaza.

President Donald Trump said the US would work on a new effort to provide food aid to alleviate starvation in Gaza along with other governments and organizations, including the UK and European Union.

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.”
