A ground attack in Gaza’s Rafah would lead to an “epic humanitarian disaster”, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has warned after negotiators left truce talks in Cairo without a deal, AFP reports.

“We are actively engaged with all involved for the resumption of the entry of life-saving supplies, including desperately needed fuel, through Rafah and Kerem Shalom crossings,” Guterres said during a visit to Nairobi, adding that famine was looming.
