Sameh Shoukry, Egypt’s minister of foreign affairs, has met the commissioner-general of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, Philippe Lazzarini, in Cairo, assuring him of his country’s full support.
Ahmed Abu Zeid, the spokesman for Egypt’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said Shoukry discussed the “necessity of removing impediments by Israel to aid entry, and ending tactics of starvation and collective punishment in the [Gaza] Strip”.
However, there was no mention of opening the Rafah border crossing, which is the only entry and exit point for Palestinians in Gaza.
