U.N. chief pushes to get aid into Gaza but process is slow

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres flew to Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula on Friday in a push to get aid flowing into Gaza, but it was unclear when delivery of relief materials stockpiled in Egypt would start.
The United States said details of a deal to send aid through the Rafah crossing between Sinai and Gaza were still being hammered out.
Earlier, the United States said agreement was reached for the passage of the first 20 trucks, but U.N. officials say that any delivery of aid needs to be done at scale and in a sustained way.
Before the current conflict between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas about 450 aid trucks were arriving in Gaza daily.
Most of Gaza’s 2.3 million people depend on humanitarian aid, which has been under a blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt since Hamas took control of the enclave in 2007.
