UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has warned of the deteriorating humanitarian conditions in Gaza and Lebanon due to Israel’s relentless bombardment, calling for an immediate ceasefire and a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine.
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres reaffirmed the organisation’s call for immediate ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon amid escalating tensions in the Middle East region.
“We cannot and will not give up on our calls for an immediate ceasefire both in Gaza and Lebanon, the immediate and unconditional release of hostages, and immediate lifesaving aid to all those who desperately need it. All people in the region deserve to live in peace,” Guterres stated in a video message shared on X.
“The conflict in the Middle East is getting worse by the hour and our warnings about the horrific impacts of escalation keep coming to pass. Every air strike, every missile launch, every rocket fired, pushes peace further out of reach and makes the suffering even worse for the millions of civilians caught in the middle,” he added
In his message, Guterres expressed solidarity with all the victims and their loved ones. Guterres reiterated the demand for an immediate and unconditional release of all the hostages who are held captive in Gaza.
The Israeli army, on Wednesday (local time), issued a warning that it was going to hit a number of buildings in Dahiyeh, the southern suburb of Beirut, Al Jazeera reported.
