The Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health said in a Monday statement that another 14 people died of malnutrition over the previous 24 hours.

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.”

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