UN chief rejects new Israeli plan to control Gaza aid

Guterres says they will not participate in any arrangement that does not fully respect the humanitarian principles: humanity, impartiality, independence and neutrality.

UNITED NATIONS - United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Tuesday rejected a new Israeli proposal to control aid deliveries in Gaza, saying it risks "further controlling and callously limiting aid down to the last calorie and grain of flour."

"Let me be clear: We will not participate in any arrangement that does not fully respect the humanitarian principles: humanity, impartiality, independence and neutrality," Guterres told reporters.
