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

As the death toll from two years of war in Gaza nears 60,000, a growing number of people are dying from starvation and malnutrition, fuelling international criticism of Israel over sharply worsening conditions.

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.”
