UN chief expresses shock over death and destruction in northern Gaza
Summary: UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed shock over the high levels of death and destruction in northern Gaza. He called for an immediate ceasefire and the release of all hostages, highlighting the dire situation for trapped civilians.
Since Israel's military operations began on October 6, hundreds have died, and over 60,000 have fled their homes. Humanitarian aid has been largely denied, worsening the crisis for those in northern Gaza.
Local officials report that 100,000 people are trapped without access to food or water. The Israeli military aims to prevent Hamas from regrouping, but its actions have drawn significant criticism amid the humanitarian toll.
