US EditionUN Chief Blasts 'Lack of Compassion' for People in Gaza as Starvation Cases Surge
GAZA STRIP, JUL 25 – UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres calls for ceasefire amid over 1,000 Palestinians killed trying to access food since late May, describing Gaza's situation as a moral crisis.
- UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged an urgent and lasting halt to hostilities, called for all hostages to be freed without conditions, and demanded full and unrestricted humanitarian access to Gaza.
- Guterres made these demands amid Israel's ongoing war with Hamas, which began after Hamas attacked southern Israel on October 7, 2023, triggering the current conflict.
- In March 2023, Israel initiated a blockade restricting aid to Gaza, which was somewhat lifted two months later, with the Israeli- and US-supported Gaza Humanitarian Foundation taking over the previous UN-managed aid distribution network.
- Humanitarian organizations report a sharp rise in starvation cases in Gaza, especially among children, with over 1,000 Palestinians killed since May 27 while attempting to receive food aid. The head of the leading global humanitarian organization in the region described the human suffering as unprecedented and unacceptable.
- Guterres condemned the situation in Gaza as a profound ethical failing that tests the conscience of the international community and affirmed that the UN is prepared to significantly expand humanitarian efforts if a ceasefire is reached.
