The United Nations chief warns that Gaza faces “an unprecedented avalanche of human suffering” due to lack of food, water and power during Israeli bombing in response to the Hamas attack.
“I repeat my call for a humanitarian ceasefire, the unconditional release of all hostages and the delivery of life-saving supplies,” UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says in a statement.
“Misery is growing by the minute. Without a fundamental change, the people of Gaza will face an unprecedented avalanche of human suffering.”
