Minister of Foreign Affairs Sameh Shokry received a phone call from the UN Senior Humanitarian and Reconstruction Coordinator for Gaza, Sigrid Kaag, on Tuesday. During the call, Kaag provided an overview of the monthly report she intends to submit to the UN Security Council.
According to Egypt Today, the report will cover the current humanitarian situation in Gaza, particularly focusing on the challenges posed by Israel’s restrictions on aid entry. Minister Shokry expressed a keen interest in gaining insights into Ms. Kaag’s strategies for mitigating the crisis’s impact and the outcomes of her discussions with Israeli officials on this matter.
The Egyptian foreign minister emphasized Egypt’s refusal to accept the Israeli destruction of the Palestinian side of the Rafah Border Crossing and their failure to ensure the safe passage of aid shipments into the Strip, resulting in some being robbed in Palestinian Rafah.
