Guterres: The situation for the residents of Gaza is an endless nightmare.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres today described the situation in the Gaza Strip as a “never-ending nightmare” for the residents of the region and called for action by the international community to protect civilians.
He said: “Their neighborhoods (Gaza residents) have been destroyed. Their loved ones have been killed. “Bombs are falling from the sky and they are deprived of their basic needs, including food, water, medicine, and electricity. The amount of aid that enters Gaza is a drop in the ocean and the international community must take action to protect civilians.”
“The situation in Gaza is an endless humanitarian nightmare for the citizens,” Guterres said.
An hour earlier, Al Jazeera reporter Hani Mahmoud in Khan Yunis, located in the south of Gaza, reported that the deadly attacks of the Israeli regime continue throughout the region.
Hani Mahmoud says that Gaza City and the northern parts of the region were targeted by the Israeli regime’s heavy nighttime bombardments, and medical centers seemed to be the main targets of these attacks.
According to “Mahmoud”, it seems that Israel’s intention was to send this message to medical teams and Palestinian refugees that nowhere, even inside the hospital, is safe to seek shelter.
In the late hours of last night, al-Shafa hospital was attacked with tank bullets and airstrikes, as a result of which 6 people were martyred and several others were injured.
According to this report, in the center of Gaza, “Al-Nasr” and “Alrentisi” hospitals were targeted. Israeli armored vehicles and tanks surrounded these two hospitals and shelled them directly with tanks.
