U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres criticized Israel's military actions in Gaza, warning of severe humanitarian impacts. He highlighted how blockades hinder U.N.-led aid efforts and result in starvation. Guterres emphasized that civilian protection and unimpeded humanitarian access are fundamental and must be prioritized over warfare tactics.

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed grave concerns over Israel's expanded military operations in Gaza City, stating these actions could have dire humanitarian consequences.

He stressed that using starvation tactics against civilians is unacceptable during warfare and urged for unhampered humanitarian access, demanding an end to all excuses and obstacles.
