United Nations (UN) Secretary General Antonio Guterres condemned the killing of more than 100 people awaiting humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip because of attack by Israeli forces.

United Nations (UN) Secretary General Antonio Guterres condemned the killing of more than 100 people awaiting humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip because of attack by Israeli forces.

“(Guterres) condemns the incident that occurred today in the northern Gaza Strip, in which more than a hundred people are believed to have been killed or injured while trying to save their lives. “Desperate civilians in the Gaza Strip need urgent help, including in the besieged north, where the UN has been unable to deliver aid for more than a week,” Gaza spokesman Stephane Dujarric said.

Speaking in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines ahead of a regional summit, Guterres said he was “shocked” by the developments, which he said may require an independent investigation.

In response to questions about the failure of a recent Security Council resolution aimed at a ceasefire, Guterres said that worsening geopolitical differences “have turned the veto into an effective tool to paralyze the Security Council.”

“I am completely convinced that we need a humanitarian ceasefire and the release of hostages, and that we must have a Security Council capable of achieving these goals.”

AI investigates Israeli attack that killed more than 100 Palestinians

Amnesty International (AI) announced that it was investigating the events.

“As the occupying power, Israel has a clear obligation to meet the basic needs of the Palestinians, including by ensuring their safe and unimpeded access to assistance.

“By doing this, Israel is violating international law and the rulings of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on the prevention of genocide against Palestinians,” the non-governmental organization said in a statement.

In this sense, AI called on Israel’s allies to “cease their inaction in the face of Israel’s disregard for the ruling of the International Court of Justice and its failure to comply with its obligations under international law.”

“Immediate and effective action is needed to prevent genocide and protect civilians in the Gaza Strip.”

Israel and its allies bear responsibility for the Gaza disaster

“People are dying of hunger. The UN warns of imminent famine.

“Israel’s incessant bombing, coupled with its 16-year-long harsh and suffocating illegal blockade, is responsible for the catastrophic humanitarian crisis we are witnessing today in the occupied Gaza Strip.”

AI also called “scandalous and inhumane” statements by far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir after the attack, who said the incident was “another clear reason” for a complete cutoff of aid supplies. because it “endangers” its soldiers.

The sector’s authorities reported more than a hundred dead in a “massacre” carried out by Israel, which allegedly attacked people crowding near a convoy of food trucks. (Europe Press and Reuters)
