United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

Statements by #Gueterres at the #UN Security Council:

“It is also important to recognize that the Hamas attacks did not occur in a vacuum. “The Palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation.”

“But the grievances of the Palestinian people cannot justify Hamas's heinous attacks. And these atrocious attacks cannot justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian people.”

“Protecting civilians does not mean ordering more than a million people to evacuate to the south, where there is no shelter, no food, no water, no medicine and no fuel, and then continuing to bomb the south.”
