As a humanitarian crisis worsens in Gaza, a high-level United Nations conference is underway in New York to try to revive momentum behind a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has warned that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is at a “breaking point,” calling Gaza's devastation "a cascade of catastrophes."

"President Trump wants to alleviate suffering for the people of Gaza because he has a humanitarian heart. He announced a new aid plan today to help Gazans obtain crucial access to food – details are forthcoming," White House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly said in a comment to ABC News.

Accompanying the ongoing physical combat is an "information warfare" being fought on both sides, with influences often hidden to news consumers.

United Nations held a summit to push for Palestinian statehood as Gaza war raged on and global pressure mounted.

Aid agencies say many Gazans are hungry and malnourished. Amal Nassar says her family is among them, and price gouging is making things worse.

The Israeli government is defending a top military officer who dismissed images of starving Palestinians as “fake” over the weekend, despite President Trump stating Monday that he believes the pictures are real.

A pair of leading Israeli human rights groups has accused Israel of “committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza,” becoming the first such organizations to make the claim.
