President Trump said Monday the United States would be getting more involved in getting food into Gaza amid an ongoing humanitarian crisis.

Trump told reporters during a meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer that the U.S. would work to set up “food centers” in Gaza. He did not provide specifics on whether the U.S. would be involved on the ground or if a third party organization would assist, but indicated it would be a joint effort with other nations.

“We’re going to do it in conjunction with some very good people, and we’re going to supply funds…And other nations are joining us,” Trump said alongside Starmer. “I know your nation’s joining us, and we have all of the European nations joining us, and others also called and they want to be helpful. So we’re going to set up food centers and where the people can walk in and no boundaries. We’re not going to have fences.”

“It’s going to be working with the United States. We’ll be helping with the food…and we’re going to bring it over there, and we’re also going to make sure they don’t have barriers stopping people,” Trump said when asked how the food centers would work.

Trump’s comments come amid international outcry over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, which has been devastated in Israel’s war against Hamas. Images and news reports have circulated in recent days detailing how many in Gaza, including children, are facing starvation because of a lack of aid getting into the territory.

“We’re going to be getting some good, strong food. We can save a lot of people. Some of those kids – that’s real starvation. I see it. And you can’t fake that,” Trump said Monday. “So we’re going to be even more involved.”

Pressed on whether Israel, which has placed restrictions on aid getting into Gaza for months, can do more to get food to Palestinians, Trump said he thought Israel “can do a lot” before accusing Iran of derailing ceasefire talks.

Trump earlier Monday was asked if he agreed with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s comments that there was no starvation in Gaza.

“I mean, based on television, I would say not particularly because those children look very hungry,” Trump said.

Starmer called the situation unfolding in Gaza “absolutely intolerable.”

“Seeing those images of starving children in particular are revolting,” Starmer said. “And there’s a sense of revulsion in the British public of what they’re seeing.”
