In a bid to address the widespread starvation in Gaza, former US President Donald Trump has proposed the establishment of food distribution centers in the region. This plan, announced during a meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer at Trump's golf club in Scotland on July 28, 2025, is intended to be a collaborative effort involving international partners such as the UK and the European Union [1][2].
As of late July 2025, the Trump administration has not released detailed operational plans for these proposed food centers [1][3]. The plan aims to alleviate the severe food shortage in Gaza, a situation exacerbated by conflict-related obstacles such as looting of aid trucks and live fire directed at crowds gathering for food distribution [2].
While some aid organizations have resumed limited humanitarian deliveries, these efforts are insufficient to meet the vast demand. For instance, the Global Empowerment Mission recently delivered 20 million meals [2]. However, the operation of these food centers and the effective movement of aid into Gaza, given the ongoing conflict and security challenges, remain uncertain.
