President Trump’s special envoy visited an aid operation site in southern Gaza Friday — amid global concerns of a spiraling hunger crisis that’s plaguing the Palestinian enclave.
Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, and US Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, became the first high profile US officials to visit Gaza since the war broke out as they toured a US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation distribution site in Rafah.
“Today, we spent over five hours inside Gaza — level setting the facts on the ground, assessing conditions, and meeting with [the Humanitarian Foundation] and other agencies,” Witkoff, who wore a Make American Great Again hat during the visit, wrote on X.
“The purpose of the visit was to give [Trump] a clear understanding of the humanitarian situation and help craft a plan to deliver food and medical aid to the people of Gaza.”
