Witkoff And Huckabee Tour Gaza Humanitarian Foundation Site As Group Distributes 100 Millionth Meal

Steve Witkoff, the United States Special Envoy to the Middle East, and Mike Huckabee, the U.S. Ambassador to Israel, toured a humanitarian aid distribution site operated by the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) today, as the organization marked the distribution of its 100 millionth meal.

For more than five hours, Witkoff and Huckabee observed the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation distributing aid to civilians in the Gaza Strip and assessed site conditions to report back to President Donald Trump on the group’s ongoing work.

Witkoff said the purpose of the visit was to give Trump “a clear understanding of the humanitarian situation and help craft a plan to deliver food and medical aid to the people of Gaza.”

Witkoff is currently on a multi-day trip to Israel, where he has met with Israeli officials to discuss the humanitarian situation in Gaza.

The tour included briefings with the Israeli Defense Forces and speaking to “folks on the ground.” Witkoff — who was wearing a Make America Great Again hat— posted a photo of him shaking the hand of a Gazan woman.

“President Trump understands the stakes in Gaza and that feeding civilians, not Hamas, must be the priority,” GHF Spokesperson Chapin Fay said in a statement. “Today he sent his envoy to serve as his eyes and ears on the ground, reflecting his deep concern and commitment to doing what’s right.”

GHF is responsible for carrying out President Donald Trump’s aid initiative, which aims to deliver humanitarian aid directly to Gazan civilians while preventing Hamas from intercepting supplies — a challenge that has persisted since the war began.

“GHF delivers more than one million meals a day, an incredible feat!” Huckabee posted.

GHF hit a milestone on Friday by distributing its 100 millionth meal since launching operations to feed Gazan civilians on May 26.

According to GHF, their aid boxes include enough food to feed a family of 5.5 three times a day for 3.5 days. Items vary depending on availability, cost, and other factors but are built off of similar ingredient lists used by other humanitarian groups.

“Gaza is one of the most complex operating environments in the world, and we are very proud of the incredible work our dedicated team has accomplished,” GHF Executive Chairman Rev. Johnnie Moore said in a statement. “However, the milestone is bittersweet given the continued shortage of aid coming into Gaza from other humanitarian groups who either lack the ability to safely deliver it or the willingness to work with those who can.”

According to United Nations data, between May and July of this year, 1,753 trucks meant to distribute aid were “intercepted either peacefully by hungry civilians or forcefully by armed actors,” leaving a limited number of trucks to successfully arrive at UN warehouses.

A video obtained by The Daily Wire shows a chaotic scene in southern Gaza last Thursday, as more than a dozen UN aid trucks enter a dense crowd along the Morag route. As the convoy attempts to pass through, a mob swarms the vehicles, climbing aboard and looting the supplies.

Due to the constant looting of UN trucks, GHF has repeatedly offered to help the UN distribute aid, but the offer has gone unanswered. Instead, the UN has continued to vilify the group.

The GHF has pushed back on accusations that its distribution sites are dangerous, noting that aid supplies are emptied daily by Gazan civilians, many of whom express thanks for the free assistance.

“The media says our sites are a death trap, but our workers are interacting with these people every day,” Johnnie Moore, the GHF executive chairman, said. “We see at our distribution sites something people haven’t seen in a long time in the Gaza Strip: we see smiles every single day on the faces of women, on the faces of children.”

According to GHF, security issues at its sites have been limited and are typically instigated by individuals the GHF believes are affiliated with Hamas. Incidents include a grenade attack by terrorists that injured two American contractors, and a stampede earlier this month triggered by armed men inciting chaos in the crowd that resulted in the deaths of 20 Gazan civilians.
