Photographers from the Gaza Strip have released footage of the al-Sahaba market, filled with fruit and featuring active vendors, on Monday.
The footage was released shortly after the IDF announced an air drop of 20 food aid packages in coordination with the UAE and Jordan.
Disagreements regarding starvation in Gaza
US President Donald Trump on Monday stated he disagreed with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying, "that there is no hunger in Gaza because they look very hungry."
Netanyahu claimed that the UN is "creating an excuse and a lie about Israel," by saying that Israel is not allowing humanitarian aid to enter the enclave.
"We are allowing [aid], there are secured routes, there always have been. But today it is official, there will be no more excuses," Netanyahu said on Sunday.
US Ambassador Mike Huckabee also commented on Israel providing aid into the Gaza Strip on X/Twitter earlier on Sunday.
"Is the UN, New York Times, and Hamas all happy now? I'm sure Hamas is. Their lies & propaganda destroyed cease-fire deal, tried to discredit safe and functioning GHF effort, emboldened Hamas & will result in this complete balagan! Most sad for hostage families-grief prolonged," Huckabee wrote.
"Why would Hamas demand GHF method stop? Because suddenly Hamas is promoting humanitarianism & efficiency for food delivery that Hamas couldn't loot? Right! And Jeffrey Dahmer was a master chef & should have had a cooking show," Huckabee added in a separate post.
This is a developing story.
