"These trucks are not just trucks, they are a lifeline. They are the difference between life and death for so many people in Gaza," said UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Friday as he visited the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing to oversee preparations for the delivery of aid. The UN chief said it must be"a sustained effort" with not just one convoy crossing but for many"to be authorised in a meaningful number to have enough trucks to provide support to Gaza's people".
