US special envoy Steve Witkoff and US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee will travel to Gaza on Friday to inspect food aid delivery as Witkoff works on a final plan to speed deliveries to the enclave, Reuters reports quoting the White House.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that the two officials will travel to Gaza to inspect the current food distribution sites and work on a plan to deliver more food there and meet with Palestinians to “hear firsthand about this dire situation on the ground”.
