In a powerful message that resonates across generations, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has condemned the killing and injuring of civilians in Gaza, describing the tragic events as "unacceptable." 😢
In his strongest rebuke to date, spokesperson Farhan Haq stated, "The secretary-general condemns the loss of lives and injuries of civilians in Gaza who are once again being shot at while seeking food." These incidents occurred at non-UN, heavily militarized food distribution sites, sparking international alarm over an escalating humanitarian crisis.
Since the program—which began in late May under an Israel- and U.S.-backed initiative—opened, more than 338 people have tragically lost their lives, and over 2,800 have been injured while seeking essential food supplies. Guterres is calling for an immediate, independent investigation into these events and insists that accountability must be firmly established.
This stern condemnation fuels a growing global debate about the urgent need for transparency, justice, and humanitarian relief in Gaza. Stay tuned as this critical story unfolds. 💔
