And he said Stephane Dujarric Spokesman Guterres “The suffering of Palestinian civilians trapped in northern Gaza is unbearable.”
He added, “The Secretary-General is shocked by the massive levels of killing, injury and destruction in northern…Gaza) As civilians became trapped under the rubble, the sick and wounded were deprived of life-saving health care, and families were without food and shelter.
He pointed out that, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, hundreds were killed in recent weeks and more than 60,000 people were forced to flee.
Dujarric also stressed that “repeated efforts to deliver humanitarian supplies necessary for survival – food, medicine and shelter – are constantly blocked by the Israeli authorities, with a few exceptions, putting the lives of countless people at risk.”
He continued, “In the name of humanity, the Secretary-General renews his calls for an immediate ceasefire, the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages, and accountability for crimes under international law.”
