U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff and U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee visited Gaza on Aug. 1 amid the dire humanitarian situation in the war-torn strip of land.

The two visited sites connected with the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and other entities at the request of President Donald Trump. The visit came amid growing international pressure to resolve what the United Nations has called “widespread starvation, malnutrition, and disease” in Gaza.
