Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dismissed growing international concerns over famine in Gaza, insisting that “no one is starving.” In a press briefing, Mr Netanyahu declared, “There is no policy of starvation in Gaza, and there is no starvation in Gaza. We enable humanitarian aid throughout the duration of the war to enter Gaza – otherwise, there would be no Gazans.”

His comments come amid mounting scrutiny over the worsening humanitarian situation in the enclave, where aid agencies have repeatedly warned of widespread hunger, especially among children. Over the weekend, in response to pressure from global allies and rights groups, Israel announced a limited scale-up of humanitarian access, including pauses in military activity, airdrops, and land convoys. However, Palestinians on the ground say the measures have had little impact.

“This aid, delivered in this way, is an insult to the Palestinian people,” said Hasan Al-Zalaan, who witnessed the aftermath of one such airdrop. “People were fighting over the supplies. Crushed cans of chickpeas were all over the ground. It’s chaos, not relief.”

The United Nations described the changes as a “one-week scale-up of aid” but noted that no timeline had been provided for continued access. Aid organisations warn that insufficient and inconsistent delivery is worsening an already dire situation.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump publicly rebuked Netanyahu’s assertion on Monday, expressing disbelief over the Israeli leader’s remarks. “Those children look very hungry,” Mr Trump said, referencing recent images of visibly emaciated Palestinian children and families. His comments reflect a growing divide among Israel’s traditional allies, many of whom are grappling with how to address the humanitarian fallout of the war.   

Israel maintains that Hamas is obstructing the flow of aid, accusing the militant group of diverting supplies to support its own forces. “Hamas is stealing the aid, using it to fuel its terror campaign,” said a senior Israeli official. The UN, however, disputes that claim. It says any looting is sporadic and argues that such incidents diminish when aid deliveries are sufficiently scaled to meet population needs.

The ongoing war, now in its tenth month, has led to a deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The territory's health officials report rising malnutrition and preventable deaths, while international agencies warn that famine conditions are already present in several areas. With no end in sight, the debate over responsibility, and the adequacy of response, continues to intensify.
