UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has sharply criticized the “unprecedented escalation” of Israeli bombardments on Gaza calling for an immediate ceasefire.
“Instead of the pause” he said, there has been “an unprecedented escalation of the bombardments and their devastating impacts, undermining the referred humanitarian objectives,” Guterres said on a visit to Doha.
Guterres spoke as Israel announced today that the war on Gaza had “entered a new phase,” with its forces relentlessly pounding Gaza three weeks into its aggression on the territory.
“This situation must be reversed,” Guterres said as he appealed for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire and a delivery of humanitarian relief. “A humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding in front of our eyes.”
