UN Chief urges Gaza ceasefire
The UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, called for an urgent and sustained ceasefire in Gaza to ensure the broad and unobstructed flow of humanitarian aid. He emphasized that hostilities have caused indescribable suffering to civilians in the area. He explained that the ongoing ceasefire since October 2025 has alleviated some of the suffering but has not provided enough security or assistance. Guterres noted that more than 74,000 Palestinians have been killed, including 20,000 children, and that all 2.1 million residents of Gaza have been displaced. He urged the full implementation of commitments and a transition toward a permanent ceasefire, stressing the need to respect international law and to build a political pathway toward lasting peace in the region.
