UN chief Antonio Guterres on Saturday said that the Palestinians in Gaza – children, women, men – remain stuck in a non-stop nightmare due to the ongoing Israeli aggression, pointing out that he visited the Egyptian side of Rafah border crossing to highlight the difficulties the Palestinians in Gaza are facing.
“I carry the voices of the vast majority of the world who have seen enough,” Guterres said, deploring “communities obliterated, homes demolished, entire families and generations wiped out”.
He added “nothing justifies the collective punishment of the Palestinian people”.
“A long line of blocked relief trucks on one side of the gates and the long shadow of starvation on the other,” said Guterres describing the situation as “a moral outrage.”
Guterres emphasized that it is time for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire to allow access for humanitarian goods to Gaza.
