The visit comes on his annual solidarity trip during the month of Ramadan, which this year comes during a turbulent period with the aggression on Gaza.

The Rafah crossing is the main entry point for humanitarian aid into Gaza, which the United Nations considers insufficient at a time of famine threatening the residents of the Palestinian Strip, where more than 32,000 people have been martyred since the start of the Israeli war, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Strip.

The spokesman for the United Nations Secretary-General, Farhan Haq, said that Guterres, who previously visited Rafah in October, “will repeat his calls for a ceasefire for humanitarian reasons” in Gaza and also in Sudan, during his visit.

Guterres is expected to meet in Cairo with Egyptian officials and have breakfast with Sudanese refugees who fled their country, which was torn by the war that has been going on for nearly a year.

Guterres will then head to Jordan, where he will meet with employees of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).
United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres arrived at Al-Arish Airport in Egypt at the beginning of a visit in solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza, where he will visit a hospital in Al-Arish.

Guterres heads to Rafah, Egypt, on the border with the Gaza Strip, to meet with United Nations humanitarian workers, and reiterate his call for an immediate ceasefire during the month of Ramadan for humanitarian reasons.
