UN humanitarian chief dismisses US-backed aid plan for Gaza: ‘Let’s not waste time’

UNITED NATIONS — United Nations aid chief Tom Fletcher says time should not be wasted on an alternative US-backed proposal to deliver aid to Gaza, saying the UN has a proven plan and 160,000 pallets of relief ready to enter the Palestinian enclave now.

“To those proposing an alternative modality for aid distribution, let’s not waste time. We already have a plan,” he says in a statement as Israel blocks the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza for the 75th day in a row.
