Extension of truce 'a glimpse of hope': UN chief

Nov 28, 2023

United Nations, November 28: UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has said he hoped the extension "will enable us to increase even more the humanitarian aid to the people in Gaza that are suffering so much".
Guterres said, however, that even with the additional two-day pause in the fighting, it "will be impossible" to meet the needs of Palestinians in the enclave.
He added that he was hopeful that other crossings into Gaza could be opened to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian assistance. "I am very hopeful that this will happen," Guterres said. (Agencies)
