United States President Donald Trump said on Friday that he is working on ensuring more food and medicine are delivered to Gaza.

"We gotta be good to Gaza," Trump told reporters on board Air Force One on his way to Rome. "These people are suffering," he added.

The US president added he discussed the humanitarian situation in Gaza with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and "pushed" Israelis to get more food and medicine into the enclave, adding Netanyahu "felt good" about it.
