"It is time to silence the guns," he said, speaking from the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing with the enclave.

He also called on Israel to give "total, unfettered" access to humanitarian goods throughout Gaza.

A UN-backed food security assessment this week said 1.1 million people in Gaza were struggling with catastrophic hunger and starvation.

It added that a man-made famine in the north was imminent between now and May.
