UN chief says Gaza ‘crisis of humanity’ demands immediate ceasefire
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urges an immediate ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict, repeating his warning that the Gaza Strip is becoming a “graveyard for children.”
“The unfolding catastrophe makes the need for a humanitarian ceasefire more urgent with every passing hour,” he tells reporters at the UN headquarters. “The nightmare in Gaza is more than a humanitarian crisis. It is a crisis of humanity.”
