Trump Sends Food to Gaza, But Ignores Haiti and African Nations That Need Food Too

Nationwide — Former President Donald Trump announced Monday that the United States will increase its efforts to deliver food aid to Gaza, promising to help establish “food centers” to address the growing humanitarian crisis in the region.
