GAZA, Aug. 30 (Xinhua) -- United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres arrived Wednesday in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip for a several-hour visit to check the humanitarian situation there.
Guterres and his convoy of UN vehicles entered Gaza through the Erez border crossing between the northern tip of the blockaded coastal enclave and Israel, witnesses said.
The Portuguese UN chief is not scheduled to meet with any of Islamic Hamas leaders, who have been ruling Gaza since their movement violently seized control of the territory in June 2007.
