Only effective way to ramp up Gaza aid is by land, UN chief Guterres says

Al Jazeera  

During a visit to Egypt, Antonio Guterres warns of the impact Israel’s months-long war on Gaza is having around the globe. The only effective and efficient way to deliver heavy goods to meet Gaza’s humanitarian needs is by road and includes an exponential increase in commercial deliveries, says the United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. Speaking during a visit to Egypt on Sunday, Guterres also warned of the impact Israel’s months-long war on Gaza was having around the globe. “The whole world recognises that it’s past time to silence the guns and ensure an immediate humanitarian ceasefire.” The UN has repeatedly warned of famine in the Palestinian territory, particularly in the north, which has been largely cut off from aid deliveries. Guterres, who also met with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, called the Rafah border crossing and Egypt’s El Arish airport where assistance is sent “essential arteries for life-saving aid into Gaza”.
