US President Donald Trump revealed that the United States had recently given $60 million in food aid to Gaza. However, he complained that the donation went unappreciated.
“We gave $60 million two weeks ago—and nobody even acknowledged it,” Trump said during a meeting in Scotland with EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Sunday, July 27.

He explained that he chose to provide the aid out of humanitarian concern. “When I do things like that, people often ask, ‘Why is the US doing it when nobody else is?’ But I believed it was a humanitarian necessity,” he added.

Trump highlights hostage crisis and criticises Iran

Trump also spoke about the situation of Israeli hostages in Gaza. He confirmed that the bodies of some captives had been recovered.
“A lot of families want the remains of their loved ones. Israel has to make a decision,” he said, hinting at the difficult choices facing Israeli leaders.

Turning his attention to Iran, Trump attacked Tehran’s nuclear programme and condemned its leadership.
“Iran has been very nasty. They’re talking about continuing uranium enrichment — but we’re not going to let that happen,” he stated.

Netanyahu accuses UN of spreading false information

Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticised the United Nations. He said the UN was spreading misinformation about humanitarian aid to Gaza.
“To achieve our objectives—eliminating Hamas and securing the release of our hostages—we are advancing both through combat and negotiations,” Netanyahu said in a video posted on X.
“Throughout this, we have allowed essential humanitarian aid to enter. Yet the UN continues to spread lies and make excuses,” he added.

Israel enforces tactical pauses for humanitarian aid

Israel has started implementing daily 10-hour pauses in military operations to allow humanitarian access into Gaza. These pauses apply to areas such as Al-Mawasi, central Deir al-Balah, and parts of Gaza City. The pause is from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., while aid convoys can move between 6 a.m. and 11 p.m.

On the first day, over 100 truckloads of aid reached Gaza. This was further supported by airdrops from Jordan and the United Arab Emirates.

Starvation crisis worsens in Gaza despite aid

Despite the new aid arrangements, the humanitarian situation in Gaza remains dire. Reports say at least 17 people died while waiting in food lines.

So far, starvation-related deaths in the territory have crossed 130. The rising toll has raised global concerns over access to aid and the safety of civilians.
