A full-scale Israeli military operation in Rafah would deliver a death blow to aid programsin Gaza, where humanitarian assistance remains “completely insufficient”, the UN chief has warned. Speaking before the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Antonio Guterres said on Monday that an all-out offensive in Gaza’s southernmost city “would not only be terrifying for more than a million Palestinian civilians sheltering there; it would put the final nail in the coffin of our aid programmes”.
