United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he is "horrified" by Israel's attack on an ambulance convoy outside the Al Shifa hospital in the Gaza Strip. He said that the targeting of Palestinian civilians "must stop" and called for a humanitarian ceasefire.

"International humanitarian law must be respected. Civilians and civilian infrastructure, including humanitarian and medical workers and assets must be protected. Civilians must also not be used as human shields. Essential supplies and services and unimpeded humanitarian access must be safely allowed into and across Gaza at a scale commensurate with this dramatic situation. All those with influence must exert it to ensure respect for the rules of war, end the suffering and avoid a spillover of the conflict that could engulf the whole region," Guterres said.
