White House says Trump envoy Witkoff and US Ambassador Huckabee will inspect food distribution in Gaza on Friday
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, AUG 1 – Special envoy Steve Witkoff will inspect Gaza aid distribution sites amid a humanitarian crisis where at least 91 Palestinians were killed trying to access aid in 24 hours, officials said.
- In Israel, U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff arrived on Thursday to discuss Gaza’s worsening humanitarian crisis with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
- Amid the ongoing blockade, since May 27, Palestinian officials say at least 1,330 killed and over 8,800 injured at aid sites due to Israeli fire.
- Despite resumed convoys, aid groups warn that only 270 trucks entered Gaza on Wednesday and 32 pallets were airdropped, far below the needed volume.
- In the immediate aftermath, the special envoy and the ambassador will brief President Trump on aid plans, Witkoff urged `all people of conscience` to witness Gaza’s suffering.
- Facing mounting criticism, Sir Keir Starmer said the UK could recognize a Palestinian state as soon as the UN General Assembly in September unless Israel takes 'substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza'.
