First aid delivery due in Gaza in ‘the next day or so’: UN

Published October 20, 2023

The first aid delivery into the besieged Gaza Strip via the Rafah border crossing with Egypt should take place “in the next day or so”, AFP quotes the United Nations as saying.

“We are in deep and advanced negotiations with all relevant sides to ensure that an aid operation in Gaza starts as quickly as possible… a first delivery is due to start in the next day or so,” the UN humanitarian chief Martin Griffiths said, his spokesman tells reporters in Geneva.
