United Nations chief Antonio Guterres has said in Cairo that delivering the necessary aid to famine-threatened Gaza “requires Israel removing the remaining obstacles and chokepoints to relief”, AFP reports.

Following a visit to the gates of the besieged Palestinian territory at the Rafah border crossing, Guterres repeated his call for an “immediate humanitarian ceasefire” to alleviate “the plight of Palestinian children, women and men struggling to survive the nightmare in Gaza”.
