RAFAH: UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has made a renewed call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

“It is time to silence the guns,” he said, speaking from the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing with the enclave.

He also called on Israel to give “total, unfettered” access to humanitarian goods throughout Gaza.

“It’s time to truly flood Gaza with life-saving aid. The choice is clear: either surge or starvation. Blocked relief trucks on the Egyptian side of border are a moral outrage,” said Guterres, who also called for the release of Israeli hostages.
