UN Security Council delegation arrives in Egypt in preparation for its visit to Rafah Crossingg in Gaza

The plane of the UN Security Council delegation arrived at Al-Arish International Airport in preparation for a visit to the border between Egypt and the Gaza Strip, to find out the mechanism for entering aid into Gaza.


Twelve delegates to the United Nations Security Council are scheduled to visit the border between Egypt and the Gaza Strip on Monday, a few days after the Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres, warned that thousands of people in the besieged Palestinian Strip are “starving.”


The UAE arranged the visit to Rafah, where humanitarian aid and limited fuel supplies crossed into Gaza, while the 15-member Security Council negotiates a draft resolution drafted by the UAE demanding “to allow the use of all land, sea and air routes leading to and around Gaza” to deliver aid.


The draft resolution also includes the establishment of a mechanism to monitor aid run by the United Nations in the Gaza Strip. It was not immediately clear when the draft resolution could be put to a vote.
