UN aid chief Tom Fletcher, reacting to Israel’s announcement of pauses in fighting in some areas of Gaza and secure routes for the entry of humanitarian aid, has said that the UN’s teams on the ground will use the opportunity to reach those in need, Al Jazeera reports.

“In contact with our teams on the ground who will do all we can to reach as many starving people as we can in this window,” Fletcher wrote in a social media post.
