UN humanitarian chief urges Israel to open more crossings into Gaza | BBC News


The UN humanitarian chief has urged Israel to open more crossings into Gaza to allow a surge of aid, after Israel warned it would limit supplies into the territory over delays from Hamas in releasing the bodies of deceased hostages.

Tom Fletcher called on both Israel and Hamas to implement the terms of the ceasefire agreement, saying it was "essential that we do not squander the immense progress made" through the US-brokered deal.

Meanwhile, Israel’s military has confirmed that the latest remains handed over to the Red Cross in Gaza and returned to Israel are those of a dead hostage.

The Israel Defense Forces said the returned hostage is Eliyahu Margalit, 75, who was killed on 7 October and his body taken into Gaza from Nir Oz kibbutz.
