  UN humanitarian chief reiterates call for access to Gaza

UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher said on Friday that Trump’s Gaza plan 
“opens a window of opportunity” to get aid into the Gaza Strip and 
secure the release of Israeli captives held in the enclave.

“We are ready and eager to act,” Fletcher said in a statement, noting 
that the UN has “170,000 metric tons of food, medicine, shelter and 
other desperately needed supplies poised to enter Gaza from across the 
region.”

“For our lifesaving plan to succeed, we need: open crossings; safe 
movement for civilians and aid workers; unrestricted entry of goods; 
visas for staff; the space for humanitarians to operate; and the private 
sector to be revived,” Fletcher said.

“This nightmare has gone on too long. Every minute of delay brings more 
misery. But we now have a chance to deliver. We call on all parties to 
agree to a ceasefire, give us the access, let us work,” the UN official 
added.

Israel has upheld a relentless blockade on Gaza for months, cutting off 
vital humanitarian aid and plunging the territory into a dire 
humanitarian crisis marked by extreme deprivation and escalating famine.
