(MENAFN)
On Friday, UN chief Antonio Guterres requested more humanitarian assistance to enter Gaza and to ensure the secure and safe distribution of aid.

For nearly 2 years, Israel stopped the coming in of vital international assistance aid. He remarked that Palestinians in Gaza are withstanding what could be the harshest periods of this brutal genocide.

Eventually, Israel has permitted the entrance of humanitarian aid into Gaza. However, all the humanitarian aid that has been permitted to go into Gaza up till now, as he informed journalists, comes to "a teaspoon of aid when a flood of assistance is required.”

Guterres stated that in latest days, about 400 lorries were given official permission to go inside Gaza through the Karem Abu Salem crossing. However, aid from only 115 lorries have been retrieved. Moreover, no aid has arrived to the heavily restricted northern Gaza.
