Daily meal distribution by GHF reaches over a million, an impressive achievement, as asserted by Ambassador Huckabee
Steve Witkoff, the U.S. Special Envoy, and Ambassador Mike Huckabee recently embarked on a visit to Gaza to tour an aid distribution site operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). The purpose of this visit was to assess and address the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, particularly the challenges faced in delivering food and medical aid amid stalled ceasefire negotiations with Hamas [1][2][3].
Before traveling to Gaza, Witkoff met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Accompanied by Huckabee, a former governor and U.S. ambassador, they were briefed on the humanitarian situation and the efforts of aid organizations to provide relief, shedding light on the urgent needs in the region due to ongoing conflict and blockade conditions [1][2][3].
The visit was initiated by President Trump, who sought firsthand reporting on the humanitarian situation in Gaza. Ambassador Huckabee expressed his view that the situation in Gaza is different from what is often portrayed by the New York Times and other entities [4].
During their visit, Witkoff and Huckabee spoke to people on the ground and plan to visit food distribution sites. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation delivers more than one million meals a day in Gaza [5].
The delegation also received briefings from the IDF during their visit. The purpose of the visit, according to Ambassador Huckabee, was to report back to President Trump directly [6]. The visit underscores the urgent need for international attention and action to alleviate the suffering of the people of Gaza.
