Antonio Guterres has hailed a “dramatic increase” in the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza following the Israel-Hamas ceasefire but said the supplies entering the enclave are not enough for the 2.3 million Palestinians living among the ruins of their destroyed homes, Al Jazeera reports.
The UN secretary-general said that “humanitarian aid has boomed” as “soon as the obstacles were removed with the ceasefire” and added that the global body is supporting mediated efforts by Qatar, Egypt and the US to guarantee the truce.
“It would be inconceivable that the war would start in Gaza again,” he said.
Guterres, who was speaking in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, also rejected the forcible displacement of Palestinians from Gaza, as proposed by US President Donald Trump.
“It would be inconceivable to have millions of Palestinians being expelled from the land where they live, as it would be impossible to accept that those Palestinians would leave without any rights in the country, in the land that they always have lived in,” he said.
