United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres highlighted the dire circumstances faced by children in Gaza on Thursday, stressing the urgent need for action.
"2,500 children must be immediately evacuated with the guarantee that they will be able to return to their families and communities," Guterres stated. In a statement posted on Threads, he praised the dedication of four American doctors working in the region and highlighted the dire circumstances faced by children.
Israel has refuted Hamas's allegations of delaying humanitarian aid deliveries into the Gaza Strip under the current ceasefire agreement, calling it "fake news." Meanwhile, United States Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff stated that rebuilding Gaza may take up to 15 years.
