UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says that the “horror” facing Palestinians in Gaza is unprecedented in recent years.
“We need look no further than the horror show in Gaza — with a level of death and destruction without parallel in recent times,” he says in a speech to the UN Security Council.
Guterres says ramped up Israeli operations mean “devastation is being layered upon devastation,” with the humanitarian system in its “last gasp.”
“That system is being denied the conditions to function. Denied the space to deliver. Denied the safety to save lives,” he says.
