In Gaza, the death toll is rising as the starvation and malnutrition crisis worsens. The UN’s aid chief warned the coming days will be “make or break” for humanitarian efforts as aid slowly trickles amid the Israel’s military daily pause in operations.

A staunch Senate moderate on Monday issued a remarkable statement regarding the hunger crisis in Gaza, saying he will not back U.S. support for Israel so long as its campaign of starvation continues.

The Trump administration says its working with Israel to get food and assistance into Gaza as an international association of experts says the worst-case famine scenario is playing out.

Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One as he returned from a trip to Scotland that Israel would preside over the new food centers “to make sure the distribution is proper.”

JERUSALEM/GAZA, July 27 (Reuters) - Israel on Sunday announced a halt in military operations for 10 hours a day in parts of Gaza and new aid corridors as Jordan and the United Arab Emirates airdropped supplies into the enclave, where images of starving Palestinians have alarmed the world.

The IDF plans to airdrop seven pallets of aid to Gaza Saturday, establishing humanitarian corridors as the U.N. warns of increased malnutrition in the region.

Israel’s army is expected to begin another 10-hour pause in military activity in parts of Gaza as aid agencies call on all border crossings to be opened.

The Netherlands banned two high-ranking Israeli officials over the current state of affairs in Gaza and allegations of meddling by Israel in attempts to influence society.
