UNITED NATIONS, Oct 18 (APP): UN Scretary-General Antonio Guterres has voiced alarm at the catastrophic levels of hunger in the war-ravaged Gaza Strip.
Famine looms. This is intolerable, the UN chief posted on X on Friday.
Reiterating his call on Israel to open Gaza border points, he said: Crossing points must open immediately, bureaucratic impediments must be removed, and law & order restored so UN agencies can deliver lifesaving humanitarian assistance.
Israel is continuing its deadly attacks on the besieged enclave without any let-up, killing at least 42,438 Palestinians and injuring over 99,246 others.
Moreover, at least 10,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes across Gaza.
