Obama Presses For Aid In Gaza To Combat A 'Travesty' Of 'Preventable Starvation' [View all]
Former President Barack Obama added to growing calls for aid in Gaza as dozens of Palestinians have perished from starvation and global experts warn of looming famine in the region.
Aid must be permitted to reach people in Gaza, Obama wrote in a Sunday statement on X. There is no justification for keeping food and water away from civilian families.
In his statement, Obama linked to a New York Times story featuring accounts from physicians and civilians. One parent described frantically searching for milk for her toddler, while another spoke of how his child was suffering from malnutrition and in intensive care. Some arrive shivering from hunger, Mohammad Saqr, head of the nursing department at Nasser Medical Complex, told The Times.
