With the global spotlight on the situation, the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip has intensified, with the shadow of hunger and malnutrition looming over this war-torn land. On Monday (July 28), US President Trump made a speech during his visit to Scotland, directly pointing out the famine problem in Gaza, calling on Israel to take more responsibility for the circulation of aid materials and promising to set up food centers to alleviate the crisis. This statement not only contrasts sharply with the position of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, but also set off a new wave of discussion in the international community. At the same time, the UN report and the tragic experience of local residents in Gaza further revealed the severity of the crisis, and the leaders of Britain and the United States also urgently called for a ceasefire in an attempt to bring a glimmer of hope to the people of Gaza.
A worsening humanitarian crisis
The war in the Gaza Strip has lasted for two years, with the death toll approaching 60,000, and hunger and malnutrition are becoming new deadly threats. According to statistics from the Gaza Health Department, 14 people died of hunger and malnutrition in the past 24 hours alone, and the cumulative death toll reached 147, of which 88 were children. Behind these figures is a true portrayal of countless families struggling in despair. The images of emaciated children shocked the world and also made Israel face increasing international criticism for the humanitarian crisis. UN agencies warned that nearly 470,000 people in Gaza are in extreme plight similar to famine, including 90,000 women and children who are in urgent need of specialized nutritional treatment.
Residents' desperate cries
Wessal Nabil, a resident of Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza, told the media about the difficult situation of raising her three children: "We go to bed hungry and wake up hungry. In order to prevent the children from crying, we try every way to distract them." Her voice is full of helplessness, but also with a desire for humanitarian aid. She called on the international community to look at the suffering in Gaza with compassion and ensure that the aid can be safely and promptly delivered to those in need. However, the reality is cruel - some aid trucks are robbed by desperate people or armed men during transportation, and the aid is often difficult to reach those who need it most.
Pointing to Israel’s responsibility
In his speech in Scotland, Trump made it clear that the famine problem in Gaza is "real" and pointed out that Israel bears a major responsibility for the flow of aid. This statement is in sharp contrast to the position of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. Netanyahu previously insisted that "there is no famine in Gaza" and stressed that he would continue to fight the Palestinian militant organization Hamas. However, in the face of international pressure, he also admitted later on Monday that the situation in Gaza is "difficult" and said that Israel is working hard to ensure the delivery of aid. Trump's criticism has undoubtedly cast a shadow on US-Israel relations.
The concept of a food hub
In response to the hunger crisis in Gaza, Trump proposed a bold plan: to set up a food center without fences and borders to facilitate the flow of aid supplies in and out. He said that the United States will work with the international community to provide more food and necessities such as sanitary facilities for the people of Gaza. A White House spokesman revealed that the specific details of the food center will be announced in the near future. This plan is seen as a positive action taken by the Trump administration to deal with the Gaza crisis, but its actual effect remains to be seen.
Netanyahu's contradictory stance
Facing Trump's criticism and pressure from the international community, Netanyahu denied the existence of a famine policy in Gaza on the one hand, and promised to cooperate with international organizations and European and American countries on the other hand to ensure that a large amount of aid supplies flow into Gaza. However, Israel's actual actions have raised questions. Witnesses said that some aid trucks were robbed after entering Gaza, and the distribution of aid supplies was in chaos. Emad, a resident who used to run a factory in Gaza City, said sadly: "The current aid is prepared for the strong, and only they can grab the supplies. This chaos must be stopped and these trucks must be protected!"
Military action exacerbates crisis
At the same time, Israel's military operations have further exacerbated tensions in Gaza. According to Palestinian media reports, on July 28, Israel launched artillery and air strikes in many places in Gaza, killing at least 92 people, including 41 civilians seeking aid. More worryingly, the Israeli cabinet is considering imposing a full military occupation of Gaza and tightening the siege on some urban centers. A UN report shows that food insecurity in Gaza has reached catastrophic levels, with more than 1 million people facing a threat to their survival. Israeli human rights organizations even publicly accused Israel of "genocide" in Gaza for the first time, saying that its policies are systematically destroying Palestinian society.
Joint statement by the leaders of the United Kingdom and the United States
On the same day, British Prime Minister Starmer met with Trump in South Ayrshire, Scotland, and both sides called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza to end the suffering of the people. They described the scenes in Gaza as "shocking" and stressed that humanitarian aid must be allowed to enter Gaza "on a large scale and quickly" to pave the way for peace in the region. Samer AbdelJaber, an official of the World Food Program, said that the current goal is to deliver 100 trucks of aid to Gaza every day, but the current 60 are far from enough to meet the needs.
The United Nations’ warnings and expectations
UN agencies have repeatedly stressed that Gaza needs a long-term, stable supply of aid, rather than sporadic deliveries. The World Food Programme has noted that the current level of aid falls far short of its target and called on the international community to take stronger action. The plight of Gaza residents has captured global attention, and the international community hopes that ceasefire negotiations and humanitarian aid will provide a respite for the region.
The humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip is not only a tragedy for local residents, but also a severe test of the humanitarian spirit of the international community. Trump's food hub plan brings a glimmer of hope to alleviate the crisis, but its implementation faces many challenges, including the safe delivery of aid supplies, the fairness of distribution, and policy differences between the United States and Israel. At the same time, Israel's military actions and Netanyahu's contradictory statements have made the situation more complicated. The urgent appeals from British and American leaders and the warnings from the United Nations show that the international community must act quickly to prevent famine and war in Gaza from further devouring innocent lives. In the coming days, the specific plans of the food hub and the progress of the ceasefire negotiations will become the focus of global attention.
The ongoing conflict in Gaza, especially the disagreement between Trump and Israel on humanitarian aid, and reports that Israel may implement a full-scale military occupation, have significantly increased instability in the Middle East. Geopolitical tensions usually increase investors' demand for safe-haven assets, and gold, as a traditional safe-haven asset, may be favored by funds, providing support for gold prices. Especially with the UN report and the international community's widespread attention to the Gaza crisis, market uncertainty has further increased, which may provide momentum for gold prices to rebound in the short term.
