UN Secretary-General António Guterres unequivocally condemned the continued widespread loss of life in Gaza, including in Israeli airstrikes in Beit Lahia, which killed dozens of Palestinians, including many women and children. He stressed the need to respect and protect civilians at all times.
He called for immediate and unfettered access for humanitarian and rescue teams to save lives.
Guterres warned that recent attacks on hospitals in northern Gaza exacerbate the already dire humanitarian crisis and put the lives of tens of thousands at grave risk.
He stressed the importance of protecting patients and medical staff and not targeting hospitals.
He also stressed the need to prioritize access to essential medical care and supplies to prevent further loss of life.
