US special envoy Steve Witkoff arrived in Gaza to assess a controversial US-backed food aid site amid a worsening starvation crisis. Witkoff, along with US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, will inspect distribution sites and meet with Gazans to develop a plan for increased food aid. This follows a White House announcement detailing the envoys' mission to secure a plan for aid distribution, which will then be presented to the President for approval. This is Witkoff's second visit to Gaza in over a decade.
