UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Friday that he sincerely hopes Israel quickly and effectively boosts aid access to the Gaza Strip, describing the situation in the Palestinian enclave after six months of war as “absolutely desperate.”

He says 196 humanitarian workers have been killed in Gaza since the start of the war, and “we want to know why.”
