"In this dramatic moment, as we are on
the verge of the abyss in the Middle East, it is my duty as Secretary-General
of the
United Nations to make two strong humanitarian appeals,” he said.
"The hostages must be immediately
released without conditions, and Israel must grant rapid and unimpeded access
for humanitarian supplies and workers for the sake of the
civilians in Gaza."
"Gaza is running out of water,
electricity and other essential supplies.”
Guterres pointed out that the United Nations
had stocks of food, water, non-food items, medical supplies and fuel, located
in Egypt, Jordan, the West Bank and Israel, that could be dispatched within
hours.
"To ensure delivery, our selfless staff
on the ground, along with NGO partners, need to be able to bring these supplies
into and throughout Gaza safely, and without impediment to deliver to those in
need," Guterres concluded.
