Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu denies starvation in Gaza, despite reports of malnutrition-related deaths and widespread hunger. President Trump disagrees, citing images of emaciated children. While Israel has announced humanitarian pauses and aid drops, aid workers report insufficient supplies and logistical challenges, with aid often looted before reaching those in need. The UN reports a significant increase in malnutrition-related deaths, particularly among children, and emphasizes the need for increased aid delivery via trucks, not airdrops.
