Guterres warns of the continuation of the “unethical human crisis” in Gaza

Antonio Guterres, Secretary -General of the United Nations, warned of a continuation of a non -moral humanitarian crisis that challenges the global conscience.

This came during statements made through the closed video episode to the meeting of the International Association of Amnesty International, which is held today in the Czech capital Prague.

He said that “as the attacks launched by Hamas on October 7, 2013 condemned, it does not accept any justification for the explosion, death and continuous destruction since then,” explaining that the size and scope of these events exceed anything that the international community has witnessed recently.

He added: “I cannot explain the level of indifference and inaction that we see by many in the international community, as there is no mercy, lack of truth and lack of humanity.”

He pointed out that besides the starvation of Gaza residents, the United Nations staff also starved in front of the eyes of the world, and said, “The unimaginable circumstances have made them drug and exhausted that they do not feel whether dead or alive.”

And he talked about the children of Gaza, “who are now expressing their desire to go to heaven, because they are at least, as they say, they will find food there.”

He stressed that in front of this case, the United Nations will continue to raise its voice at every opportunity, although “words do not feed the hungry children.”

The Secretary -General touched on the statistics recorded by the United Nations and indicates that since last May 27, more than a thousand Palestinians have been killed while trying to obtain food, stressing that these people were not killed in the fighting, but rather during a case of their despair and just they get food while all the population is starving.

He stressed the need to work to reach an immediate and permanent ceasefire, and to release all the hostages immediately and without restriction or condition, and not to obstruct the immediate human access to the affected population in Gaza, stressing in this context the need to take urgent and tangible steps that are irreversible towards a two -state solution.

Guterres expressed the United Nations standing ready to benefit from the maximum possible ceasefire to expand the scope of humanitarian operations in various parts of the Gaza Strip, similar to what it did successfully during the previous truce in Gaza.

He pointed out that there are strong forces that address human rights, and the international system that was established to protect and support it, including the International Criminal Court, and said: “We are in a global battle for human dignity and for human rights and the achievement of justice, and the multilateral system”, at a time when the world is witnessing today an escalation in the repressive methods aimed at undermining respect for human rights.

The Secretary -General of the United Nations called for the necessity of pushing countries to defend human rights continuously and globally when this is inappropriate, and urged measures to confront what he called “the torrent of lies and hatred that pollutes the digital space,” stressing that attempts to manipulate social media are a strong weapon in the hands of the tyrants.

Guterres said: “We must build on the gains that have been achieved as hard -working, including the recent consultative opinion of the International Court of Justice, by insisting on legal accountability and demanding climate justice,” Guterres said.
