The Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres, arrived at Al-Arish International Airport in the Egyptian North Sinai Governorate, with the Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, and the Egyptian Minister of Health, Khaled Abdel Ghaffar, at the beginning of a solidarity visit with the Gaza Strip.
Guterres's visit to Egypt includes inspecting the Rafah land crossing, and renewing the call for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, which has been subjected to Israeli aggression for more than 5 months, leaving tens of thousands martyred and wounded, and causing massive destruction to the Strip.
Upon his arrival, Guterres headed to Al-Arish General Hospital to inspect the health condition of the wounded in the Gaza Strip, who are receiving treatment in Egyptian hospitals.
Guterres is scheduled to hold a press conference in front of the Rafah crossing, and will speak to the whole world about the necessity of a ceasefire and increasing the flow of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.
