Guterres: Famine in Gaza is a man-made catastrophe
New York, August 22 (Hibya) – United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres stated that what is happening in Gaza is a man-made catastrophe, calling for an immediate ceasefire, the release of hostages, and humanitarian access.
UN Secretary-General Guterres made a statement regarding the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
Guterres said, “When words run out to describe the hell in Gaza, a new one is added: famine.”
He emphasized that famine is not only about the lack of food but about the deliberate collapse of systems essential for human survival, stressing that this is a “man-made catastrophe.”
Guterres said, “People are dying of hunger. Children are dying. And those who have the duty to act are failing,” stressing that Israel, as the occupying power, is obliged under international law to provide the population with food and medical supplies.
“There are no more excuses. The time to act is not tomorrow, but now. We need an urgent ceasefire, the immediate release of all hostages, and full, unrestricted humanitarian access,” Guterres added.
