UN Chief Urges Ceasefire and Humanitarian Aid in Gaza

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres visited Egypt’s border with Gaza, emphasizing the urgent need for a ceasefire to alleviate the suffering caused by the prolonged conflict between Israel and Hamas. Despite efforts to deliver aid, including airdrops and ships, only a fraction of the required supplies have reached Gaza, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.

Israel’s closure of most land crossings into Gaza has hindered relief efforts, leading to growing hunger and dire conditions. Guterres’s visit aims to underscore the necessity of accelerating aid deliveries and achieving a ceasefire to prevent further escalation of the crisis and alleviate the suffering of Gaza’s population, particularly during Ramadan.
