’Surge or starvation’: UN Secretary-General says blocked relief trucks is a moral outrage | Gaza

A long line of blocked relief trucks on Egypt’s side of the border with the Gaza Strip where people face starvation is a moral outrage, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said during a visit to the Rafah crossing on Saturday. It was time for Israel to give an “ironclad commitment“ for unfettered access to humanitarian goods throughout Gaza, said Guterres, who also called for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire and the release of Israeli hostages held in Gaza. The U.N. would continue to work with Egypt to “streamline“ the flow of aid into Gaza, he told reporters in front of the gate of the Rafah crossing, an entry point for aid. “A long line of blocked red relief trucks on one side of the gate, the long shadow of starvation on the other,“he said. “That is more than tragic. It is a moral outrage.“ #gaza #unitednations #border #aid #news Subscribe to The Telegraph with our special offer: just £1 for 3 months. Start y
