“We’re not going to give up, we do believe that it’s not only necessary but it’s urgent that we get in and get in at scale,” she mentioned.

“We’re looking at a generation of children that won’t have a chance in life because they haven’t had the proper nutrients.

“Proper now, we’re taking a look at over 500,000 individuals inside Gaza which can be catastrophically meals insecure.”

Ms McCain added: “I attempt to put myself of their state of affairs: I am a mom and grandmother, and I can’t think about having my youngsters ask me for meals and me not with the ability to give it them.

“I don’t know what that does to a human spirit but I don’t want to see any more of that as a humanitarian aid worker.”

Ms McCain, the widow of the late US presidential candidate John McCain, mentioned she believes in “principled, humanitarian distribution” of assist.

Requested if she thought Hamas was taking assist, she replied: “I have not seen anything like that. I have no way of knowing because I’ve not been there in person.”
