UN Secretary-General António Guterres reiterated his call for sustained humanitarian aid delivery to Gaza and for Hamas to free all hostages, in remarks to the Cairo Summit for Peace on Saturday. 

The protection of civilians must be upheld at all times, the head of the UN agency that assists Palestine refugees, UNRWA, said on Saturday, appealing for an end to attacks on places such as schools, hospitals and the homes of his staff.

The aid that entered Gaza on Saturday "is only a small beginning and far from enough", five UN agencies said in a joint statement.  They called for a humanitarian ceasefire and safe access to civilians in efforts to save lives and prevent more suffering.
