UN aid chief urges ‘humanitarian exemptions’ to get aid through Strait of Hormuz The United Nations aid chief Tom Fletcher warned on Wednesday that the US-Israeli war on Iran was impacting aid supply routes and urged all parties to ensure “exemptions for our humanitarian supplies”. “I’m worried that actually further escalation will damage other supply routes,” Fletcher told reporters in Geneva, saying he was “appealing to all the parties to try and secure those routes, including the Strait of Hormuz, for our humanitarian traffic, and ... to ensure that we have humanitarian exemptions for our humanitarian supplies”.
