UN chief urges immediate cease-fire and aid access in Gaza
United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres called for an immediate humanitarian cease-fire and unfettered aid access in Gaza during a visit to Rafah crossing. He urged surge not starvation, while drivers at the border describe long waits and dangerous conditions. Russia and China vetoed a U.N.
