US President Donald Trump said on Monday the number one priority in Gaza was getting people fed, because "you have a lot of starving people."
Trump, speaking alongside British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at his golf resort in Turnberry, Scotland, said the United States had provided $60 million for humanitarian aid, and other nations would have to step up.
He said he discussed the issue with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Sunday, and she told him European countries would step up their assistance very substantially.
He said he also planned to discuss the humanitarian situation with Starmer during his visit on Monday.
"It's a mess. They have to get food and safety right now," he stated.
Starmer agreed, saying, "It's a humanitarian crisis, right? It's an absolute catastrophe.... I think people in Britain are revolted at seeing what they're seeing on their screen."
Asked if a ceasefire was still possible, Trump said, "Yeah, a ceasefire is possible, but you have to get it, you have to end it."
