UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for Israel and Palestinian factions to "silence the guns" in Gaza "to honour the spirit of Ramadan".
"Today marks the start of the holy month of Ramadan, a time when Muslims around the world celebrate and spread the values of peace, reconciliation and solidarity," he told the press.
"But even with the start of Ramadan, the deaths, bombings and carnage continues in Gaza."
