UN chief describes blocked Gaza aid as ‘moral outrage’, urges end to war

On a visit to the Rafah crossing, the UN Secretary-General called the line of blocked aid trucks on Egypt’s side of the Gaza border, with Palestinians facing starvation on the other side, a “moral outrage”, Al Jazeera reported.

The visit by Guterres, which is a part of his annual “solidarity trip” to Muslim countries during Ramadan, comes as Israel faces global pressure to allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza, which has been devastated by more than five months of war.

Antonio Guterres, urged an end to the war and unrestricted access to humanitarian aid in Gaza, reiterating that the appalling death toll is hugely frustrating.
