TURNBERRY, Scotland (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday Israel would have to make a decision on next steps in Gaza, adding that he did not know what would happen after moves by Israel to pull out of ceasefire and hostage-release negotiations with the Hamas militant group.
Surgeon James Smith describes what activists aboard the Freedom Flotilla told him about their mission to bring aid to Gaza before they were detained by Israel in international waters.
Saying that journalists in the territory, like many Gazans, are facing starvation, the groups urged Israel to allow more food in.
U.N. data shows that only less than 8% of 1,718 WFP trucks made it to their destination within Gaza in the nearly ten weeks since Israel lifted its blockade. The rest were looted by "either peacefully by hungry people or forcefully by armed actors during transit," according to the U.N. data.
This might be a tacit admission by the Israelis that they need to do more - but more likely the measures are a response to allies.
