  • The United Nations chief said Monday the situation in war-torn Gaza was "appalling and apocalyptic", warning conditions faced by Palestinians in the territory may amount to the "gravest international crimes".

The article from MSN discusses the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza as described by UN Secretary-General António Guterres. During a visit to the Rafah border crossing, Guterres labeled the conditions in Gaza as "appalling" and "apocalyptic," highlighting the severe impact of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. He emphasized the urgent need for a ceasefire, pointing out the catastrophic levels of hunger, the breakdown of civil order, and the desperate conditions faced by civilians, including children dying from lack of food and water. Guterres also criticized the international community's response, calling for more aid and a humanitarian ceasefire to alleviate the suffering. He stressed that the situation could deteriorate further without immediate action, potentially leading to a complete collapse of public order and increased desperation among the population.
