He again signalled the UN's refusal to join a new US-backed distribution plan.

The UN and its partners have a plan to get the aid needed into Gaza, he said.
"The supplies – 160,000 pallets, enough to fill nearly 9,000 trucks – are waiting," Guterres said. “This is my appeal for life-saving aid for the long-suffering people of Gaza: Let's do it right. And let's do it right away.”
