A State Department spokesperson said that the U.S. has given roughly $3 million to the Gaza food distribution program. Trump has claimed $60 million.

Israel’s nearly 22-month military offensive against Hamas has shattered security in the territory of some 2 million Palestinians and made it nearly impossible to safely deliver food to starving people.

The UN says at least 1,373 Palestinians have been killed near aid sites since late May - Israel says its forces do not intentionally shoot civilians.
