Maybe families can get one meal a day. A single egg could cost $20, while a bag of flour can cost $1,400. World leaders and global officials – from the United Nations' World Health Organization to dozens of humanitarian agencies – are sounding the alarm that malnutrition and even starvation in Gaza is on a "dangerous trajectory." More than 2 million Gazans remain trapped almost two years after the war that began after Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. The United Nations' World Food Programme says a third of Gaza's population does not eat for several days at a time and that one in four Gazans is "enduring famine-like conditions." One mother, Amal Nassar, living in the Gaza strip details the dire situation. | Palestinians gather to receive food from a charity kitchen, amid a hunger crisis, in Gaza City, on July 28, 2025.

How Trump's immigration policies are affecting farmers |
Candice Lyall, a cherry farmer from Washington state, had more than 100 workers to help pick cherries during the short harvest window. But by the second week, the workforce dwindled to 30, leading her farm to struggle to get cherries picked in time. That's just one example of the farmers who are facing worker shortages and fears of unpicked crops as Trump's immigration raids have roiled farms and farming communities. Of the 2.6 million people working on U.S. farms, about 42% lack legal status, according to the Department of Agriculture. Long-standing immigration struggles, such as a costly foreign agriculture worker visa program, is now compounded by the lurking presence of Trump's masked immigration forces. How farmers and some lawmakers are searching for a solution. |
Trump again says he's 'allowed to' pardon Epstein associate |
Is a pardon on the table for an associate of Jeffrey Epstein? The president said no one has approached him about that. As Trump continues to face backlash against his administration's handling of the Epstein case, the president continues to say he "allowed" to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell, a key associate of Jeffrey Epstein who's serving a 20-year sentence on sexual abuse charges. Trump, however, said nobody's asked him about it and that it would be inappropriate to talk about it. Maxwell met with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche for two days last week to answer questions about Epstein. Critics have said the meetings with Blanche were part of a White House effort to quell the backlash. | | District Judge Indira Talwani issued a preliminary injunction, saying Trump's tax and spending law targeted Planned Parenthood's health centers. | | Trump's pick to oversee higher ed was a vice president for a company that paid $13 million to settle accusations it defrauded the student aid system. | | | | The Justice Department effort has targeted battleground states.
