UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric stated that "Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged Israel on Monday to 'avoid further actions that could exacerbate the already disastrous humanitarian situation in Gaza and spare civilians more suffering.' The Secretary-General emphasized the need for 'unimpeded and sustainable flows of humanitarian aid to meet the needs of people across the sector, and for those who have been ordered to evacuate, there is no safe place to go, and there is very little left to survive on.'"
