Guterres Expresses Concern Over Humanitarian Violations in Gaza

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed his "grave concern regarding the clear violations of international humanitarian law that we are witnessing in Gaza" during a session of the Security Council today, Tuesday. Guterres stated, "In such a critical moment, we must be clear about the principles, starting with the fundamental principle of respecting and protecting civilians." "The grievances of the Palestinian people cannot justify the appalling attacks by Hamas, and those appalling attacks cannot justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian people," says UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres.
