UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Friday visited the Rafah border crossing, the only crossing point between Egypt and the Gaza Strip, to oversee preparations for the delivery of aid to the enclave.
Aid trucks need to move to Gaza as quickly as possible, Guterres said at a press conference at the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing.
He called for a meaningful number of trucks to enter Gaza every day and for verification of aid to be done in a way that is practical and expedited.
"We are actively engaging with all parties to make sure conditions for delivering aid are lifted," he said.
Cargo planes and trucks have been bringing aid to the crossing for days, but so far none has been delivered to Gaza, which Israel has besieged and bombed for 13 days in response to a deadly cross-border attack by Hamas fighters on October 7.
