NNA - United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, on Sunday, urged Israel to "remove the remaining obstacles" to the entry of relief materials to the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, noting the need to increase crossings and access points for aid, according to "Agence France-Presse."

Guterres explained during a press conference in Cairo with Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry that "the land route is the most effective and efficient in transporting heavy goods," stressing that the entry of aid "requires an immediate ceasefire for humanitarian reasons."
