US Envoys Inspect Gaza Aid Amid Food Crisis

US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Ambassador Mike Huckabee have arrived in Gaza to inspect US and Israel-backed aid centers amid a worsening humanitarian crisis. Over 90 Palestinians have died and hundreds have been injured in recent stampedes and violence during food aid distribution, with both Israeli gunfire and chaotic crowds contributing to the toll. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a controversial US-backed organization, has taken over much of the aid distribution after Israel accused Hamas of diverting UN aid, though US analysis found no systematic theft by Hamas. President Trump, frustrated by aid delays and worsening famine, has announced a new plan for food centers and called for European cooperation, though details remain unclear. Witkoff is expected to brief Trump on the situation to inform the next steps in US policy. The high-profile visit highlights growing international alarm over Gaza's politically driven famine and the urgent need for expanded humanitarian access.
