‘We need an immediate humanitarian ceasefire’

“Half of Gaza’s population is now crammed into Rafah with nowhere to go,” UN Secretary General António Guterres wrote on X. “Reports that the Israeli military intends to focus next on Rafah are alarming. Such an action would exponentially increase what is already a humanitarian nightmare with untold regional consequences. We need an immediate humanitarian ceasefire.And we need the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages.”
