UN chief says over 630 aid trucks entered Gaza on first day of ceasefire
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleMore than 630 humanitarian aid trucks entered the Gaza Strip yesterday, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres tells the Security Council, with at least 300 of those trucks going to the enclave’s north, where the UN claims famine looms.
The trucks entered on the first day of a hostage-ceasefire deal between Israel and Palestinian terrorist group Hamas.
Guterres also says a total or partial annexation of the West Bank by Israel “would constitute a most serious violation of international law,” denouncing statements by Israeli officials suggesting such a move.
“I am deeply concerned about an existential threat to the integrity and contiguity of the occupied Palestinian territory of Gaza and the West Bank,” he says, citing “Israeli administrative changes” over the past two years.
