The U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation operates four sites providing food boxes with 2,400 daily calories, while facing criticism from the U.N. and several American allies.

Despite being thousands of miles away from Gaza, North Texans have been mobilizing for months, helping get humanitarian aid to those who need it most.

Since Israel’s offensive led to a security breakdown in Gaza that has made it nearly impossible to safely deliver food to starving Palestinians, much of the limited aid entering is being hoarded by gangs and merchants and sold at exorbitant prices.

Three United Nations agencies warned that Gaza is on the brink of full-scale famine. Food aid is being flown in from Amman, Jordan. Debora Patta went along on a flight.

"President Trump wants to alleviate suffering for the people of Gaza because he has a humanitarian heart. He announced a new aid plan today to help Gazans obtain crucial access to food – details are forthcoming," White House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly said in a comment to ABC News.

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.

"America First" Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene called the situation in Gaza "a genocide," while other Republicans said Congress shouldn't provide food and aid to the region.

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israeli strikes killed at least 36 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip on Monday, including a pregnant woman and her newborn, local health officials said. Israel meanwhile eased some aid restrictions as it came under mounting pressure over the spiraling hunger crisis in the war-ravaged territory.

The president described the food crisis in the enclave as a “terrible situation,” and said the U.S. would set up food centers and fund the effort along with European nations.

We’re going to be dealing with Israel, and we think they can do a good job of it,” President Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One as he returned from a trip to Scotland, without offering much detail.
