UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has stressed that the plight of Palestinian civilians besieged in northern Gaza is unbearable, due to the genocide that the Israeli occupation continues to commit.
In a statement issued on Sunday by Stephane Dujarric, Spokesman for the UN Secretary-General, Guterres expressed his shock at the horrific levels of death, injury and destruction in northern Gaza. The UN Secretary-General stressed that repeated efforts to deliver humanitarian supplies necessary for survival, such as food, medicine and shelter, continue to be rejected by the Israeli occupation authorities, with few exceptions, putting countless lives at risk.
He stressed that postponing the final phase of the polio vaccination campaign in northern Gaza puts the lives of thousands of children at risk, noting that the widespread destruction and deprivation resulting from the intensive military operations carried out by the occupation forces in northern Gaza make living conditions unbearable for the Palestinian population there.
