## Summary

UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher urged that all Gaza border crossings be opened without further delay so aid can reach people before winter. He said postponing deliveries risks worsening humanitarian needs and called delays, blockages and funding cuts unacceptable under international law.

Fletcher said some countries supporting aid deliveries had told him winter supplies might have to wait until an Israeli government is formed. He rejected that explanation and called for the humanitarian community to be mobilised to deliver the full winter plan.
