UN: ‘Monumental humanitarian disaster in Gaza’

The United Nations' secretary general said on Wednesday that inhabitants of the Gaza Strip are experiencing "a monumental humanitarian catastrophe”.

Antonio Guterres called for a “real ceasefire” and said that the world “must not look away".

“The volume of aid reaching the Palestinians in Gaza is still completely insufficient to meet the needs of more than two million people,” particularly for fuel, insisted the secretary general, who once again called for the opening of other points of passage into the Gaza Strip, including Rafah.
