In remarks in Pennsylvania on Sunday evening, Trump said that Washington wants people in Gaza to have access to food, stressing that his country is the only country truly doing so and providing the money for this purpose, he said.
In this context, the Ministry of Health in Gaza announced the deaths of six Palestinians due to starvation, bringing the number of famine victims in the Strip to 175, including 93 children.
In a related development, medical sources reported that 56 Palestinians were killed while attempting to obtain food from aid distribution centers, bringing the death toll from Israeli fire and shelling since dawn on Sunday to 92.
Since beginning its genocide on October 7, 2023, Israel has been simultaneously committing a starvation crime against the Palestinians of Gaza. On March 2, it tightened its measures by closing all crossings to humanitarian, relief, and medical aid, causing famine to spread and reaching "catastrophic" levels.
The genocide, backed by the United States, left more than 210,000 Palestinians dead or wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 9,000 missing, in addition to hundreds of thousands of displaced persons and a famine that claimed the lives of many.
