UN chief calls for aid to be allowed into Gaza

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for trucks carrying aid to be allowed into Gaza.

Gaza is still under siege with Israel blocking supplies of water, electricity, food and fuel across its border.

Mr Guterres was speaking at the Rafah Crossing, in between Egypt and the Gaza Strip, where more than 100 trucks are waiting for the green light to drive into Gaza.

He said these trucks would be a "lifeline" and the "difference between life and death for so many people in Gaza”.
