On August 1, 2025, US special envoy Steve Witkoff arrived in Israel to oversee food distribution in Gaza, where the humanitarian crisis is deepening. The White House stated that President Donald Trump sent Witkoff to the Middle East with the mission to save lives and help end the ongoing crisis.
Gaza is currently facing a severe shortage of food, worsened by recent conflicts and restricted aid deliveries. Hundreds of Palestinians have lost their lives while trying to reach aid sites. The blockade and turmoil have led to serious malnutrition and many deaths according to local health officials. Despite Israel’s announcement to allow more food into Gaza and provide secure corridors for humanitarian aid, almost no supplies are reported to have reached UN warehouses for distribution.
The situation has drawn international concern, with aid groups urging Israel to enable unhindered humanitarian access to prevent further starvation and social collapse. Human stories highlight the desperate conditions, with families struggling to survive amid dwindling resources.
The US envoy’s visit signals increased attention from the international community to address the crisis and improve aid flow. The developments remain fluid as efforts to resolve the crisis continue.
