Antonio Guterres, the Secretary General of the UN, was on October 20 in Rafah in Egypt, on the border of the Gaza Strip, he called for the rapid passage of humanitarian aid to the Palestinian territory.
On satellite images of the Rafah border post, we can see lines of waiting humanitarian trucks. On the Palestinian side, workers are still working to restore the road leading to the crossing, damaged by the bombings. To prepare for this arrival, Antonio Guterres, the UN Secretary General, went there to demand a ceasefire to allow aid to arrive safely. “We have so many trucks full of water, fuel and medicine. (…) these trucks are the difference between life and death for so many people“, he said.
A catastrophic situation
The NGOs present on site describe a catastrophic situation. Gazans lack everything: “we are cut off from the world, we have no means of communication”said a resident. Humanitarian aid should be able to enter the site this Saturday, October 21.
