The crisis has echoes of past humanitarian crises that left presidents wringing their hands over how to respond.

President Trump says the U.S. will partner with Israel to run food centers in Gaza. Mercy Corps CEO Tjada D’Oyen McKenna joins Chris Jansing to share her reaction to that plan and to explain what the people in Gaza need right now to survive.

Trump said the facilities would be open-access, with “no boundaries” and “no fences,” and framed the effort as a direct response to the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Gaza. “That’s real starvation stuff,” he said. “I see it, and you can’t fake that. So, we’re going to be even more involved.”
