US President Donald Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff has for the first time visited a controversial Israel- and US-backed aid distribution site in Gaza.
Witkoff said the purpose of the trip to a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) site 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".
The visit follows near daily reports of deadly shootings at GHF points, with the UN reporting at least 859 Palestinians killed in the vicinity of the sites - a figure the GHF rejects.
Israel says its troops have only fired warning shots and that they do not intentionally shoot civilians.
The BBC understands Witkoff visited one of the GHF sites near Rafah in southern Gaza on Friday.
