  • The Iranian foreign minister said the amount of humanitarian aid sent to Gaza is very small and almost zero.
  • Trucks carrying the first delivery of fuel to Gaza since the Israel-Hamas war began on October 7 crossed from Egypt Wednesday.

Geneva, Switzerland – Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian called on the United Nations Wednesday to do more to get desperately needed aid into war-battered Gaza.

“The amount of humanitarian aid sent to Gaza is very small and almost zero, and it is necessary for the United Nations to take immediate and serious action in this regard,” Amir-Abdollahian said in a meeting in Geneva with UN humanitarian chief Martin Griffiths.

Trucks carrying the first delivery of fuel to Gaza since the Israel-Hamas war began on October 7 crossed from Egypt Wednesday but the UN agency for Palestinian refugees said it was “not at all enough”.

Amir-Abdollahian has been in Geneva since Tuesday for talks with UN and other officials on aid deliveries into Gaza, which is ruled by Iran-backed Palestinian group Hamas.
