António Guterres calls for more aid trucks to enter besieged territory and calls for end to ‘dead end of destruction’
The United Nations secretary general, António Guterres, has warned that the Gaza Strip is becoming “a graveyard for children” as he called again for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire to allow aid into the embattled territory.
The UN chief’s comments came on Monday after Gaza health authorities said the deathtoll had now exceeded 10,000 people and the heads of all the major UN humanitarian organisations made an unprecedented joint statement calling for a ceasefire.
