"It has to stop. This is no natural disaster. This is a manmade crisis," Egeland said during a news conference at the Larnaca airport.
Egeland is scheduled to leave for Beirut yesterday, and is to meet with Israeli officials on Tuesday.
He has called on Israel to guarantee safe passage for humanitarian goods into northern Lebanon by road; into the ports of Beirut, Tripoli and Tyre for sea cargo; and into Beirut airport for air shipments. The airport has not been working since Israel bombed its runways.
