Yesterday in New York, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres dropped a powerful message: there's something 'fundamentally wrong' with how Israel has been conducting its operations in the Gaza Strip 😔.
In an interview on Wednesday, Guterres said he's alarmed by the civilian toll and the destruction in Gaza. 'The objective was to destroy Hamas. Gaza is destroyed, but Hamas is not yet destroyed. So there is something fundamentally wrong with the way this is conducted,' he noted.
Since the conflict erupted on October 7, 2023, when a Hamas attack in Israel left around 1,200 people dead and 251 hostages taken, Gaza has faced relentless military strikes. According to Gaza health authorities, more than 70,000 people in Gaza have been killed over these two years 💔.
Guterres warned that there are 'strong reasons to believe' war crimes may have been committed, urging the international community to push for accountability ⚖️.
As the world watches, questions are rising about how military goals and humanitarian concerns can find the right balance. For young change-makers and global citizens, this is a call to stay informed and demand answers 🤔.
