UN Chief Urges Increased Aid Access to Gaza Amid Looming Famine
TL;DR Summary
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for a "flood" of aid into Gaza, labeling the starvation in the enclave a "moral outrage" as Israel plans a ground assault. The UN Security Council failed to agree on a ceasefire resolution, and Guterres urged Israel to allow total access for humanitarian goods and the immediate release of hostages. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned against an Israeli assault on Rafah, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to proceed with military plans to destroy Hamas, despite the devastating impact on civilians.
