U.S. President Donald Trump said many people were starving in Gaza and suggested Israel could do more on humanitarian access as Palestinians struggle to feed their children. This a day after Israel declared steps to improve supplies.
Meanwhile, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer met with Trump to discuss the growing food crisis in the territory.
And France called on the European Union to pressure Israel to agree to a two-state solution with the Palestinians.
Tracey Furniss has more.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer flew with U.S. President Donald Trump aboard Air Force One to outside Aberdeen in Scotland Monday where the president's family has a second golf course and is holding a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a third one on Tuesday.
Earlier, the two held a meeting at Trump's Turnberry golf course where the main discussion was the growing famine crisis in Gaza.
U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said: "We've had the opportunity to talk about the situation in Gaza and the intolerable situation, including images of starvation. And I think both of us know that we have to get to that ceasefire and we have to increase humanitarian aid. And thank you for what you've already been doing, are doing, committed to because without you this would not be capable of resolution."
U.S. President Donald Trump said: "We're going to set up food centres and we're going to do it in conjunction with some very good people, and we're going to supply funds, and we just took in trillions of dollars. We got a lot of money and we're going to spend a little money on some food. And other nations are joining us."
This as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denied that there is any policy of starvation towards Gaza adding no one in Gaza is starving.
Speaking on the sidelines of a high-level U.N. meeting on the two-state solution co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia, the French foreign minister said his country is calling on the European Union to pressure Israel to agree to a two-state solution with the Palestinians.
France just days ago pledged to recognise Palestine as a state.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected the two-state solution on both nationalistic and security grounds.
The U.S. has echoed that sentiment and called the U.N. conference "unproductive and ill-timed."
