UN Secretary-General António Guterres said that what is happening in Gaza represents a “humanitarian catastrophe on a scale that defies comprehension,” renewing his call for the immediate and unconditional release of the hostages, ending the suffering for all, and putting an end to the hostilities in Gaza, Israel, and the region. His remarks came on Tuesday, the second anniversary of the Hamas October 7, 2023, attack on Israel that sparked the war in the Gaza Strip. Guterres emphasized the urgent need to end the hostilities and release all hostages held in the Strip immediately and unconditionally. (Agencies)
