UN Secretary-General António Guterres reiterated his call for sustained humanitarian aid to be delivered to Gaza in remarks to the Cairo Summit for Peace on Saturday.
The Summit, convened by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, took place one day after the UN chief travelled to the Rafah border crossing in north Sinai, the sole border crossing open with Gaza.
The Secretary-General stressed that the near-term goals must be clear, repeating his call for immediate, unrestricted and sustained humanitarian aid to Gaza, the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages by Hamas, and a humanitarian ceasefire now.
