Norwegian Refugee Council: Gaza aid plan will fail without full access for humanitarian groups

The Norwegian Refugee Council, one of the largest independent aid groups working in Gaza, said President Donald Trump's plan to increase aid to starving people as part of a ceasefire will fail unless all aid groups can resume operations.

"The desperation is deeper and the exhaustion is greater than anyone can imagine inside Gaza... It's not enough with some UN agencies and some few NGOs," Jan Egeland, NRC head, told Reuters in an interview via video link from Oslo.

"If not, the Trump peace plan will not succeed... We don't have time for more bureaucratic obstacles."
