Trump to Launch US Food Centers in Gaza

President Trump sharply criticized Israel’s handling of humanitarian aid in Gaza on Monday, calling the situation “real starvation” and pledging that the U.S. will set up food centers to feed children.

Speaking from Scotland, Trump said images of emaciated children were undeniable and directly contradicted Prime Minister Netanyahu’s claim that there’s no hunger crisis.

The Israeli military began a limited pause in fighting in three populated areas of Gaza for 10 hours a day as part of a series of steps that it says would give the United Nations and other aid agencies secure land routes to tackle a deepening hunger crisis.

100+ Degree Temps Hit Eastern US

More than 200 million Americans are under heat alerts as scorching temperatures sweep from the Midwest to the East Coast.

Parts of the Southeast, including Mississippi and Louisiana, could see temperatures climb near 120 degrees. Cities like St. Louis, Charlotte, and Tampa are bracing for several days of triple-digit heat with little overnight relief.

Smoke from Canadian wildfires is adding to the misery, lowering air quality across the Northeast.

Vulnerable populations are urged to minimize outdoor activity, stay hydrated, seek air‐conditioned spaces, and monitor at-risk neighbors.
