Gazans are facing starvation and more humanitarian aid must get in, White House national security spokesperson John Kirby tells reporters.
“We recognize that there are real food security issues in Gaza,” he says. “We understand there’s a lot of hunger and starvation in Gaza.”
Kirby says not enough aid trucks are getting into Gaza.
“There is not enough trucks getting in, we’re not satisfied with the level right now,” he says.
Kirby also reiterates the US’s rejection of genocide accusations at The Hague, telling reporters that claims made at the court will not stop the US from making sure Israel has what it needs to defend itself.
“We’re going to continue to supply them with the tools and capabilities they need to do that,” Kirby says.
