Antoine Renard

Speaking via video from Gaza, the World Food Program's Antoine Renard says Palestinians do have more access to food months after a famine was declared in parts of Gaza.

But he says it's still too expensive to buy goods there.

So he's urging diplomats to work on the second phase of the U.S.

negotiated peace deal to rebuild Gaza.

The State Department says senior officials from Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey will be meeting with U.S.

Envoy Steve Witkoff in Miami on Friday.
