UN Secretary-General António Guterres denounced Israeli airstrikes targeting UN-operated aid facilities in Gaza, including a World Health Organization warehouse, during a high-profile UN Security Council session on Tuesday. Describing the attacks as "appalling," Guterres emphasized the urgent need to protect humanitarian operations in conflict zones.
The strikes have intensified concerns over Gaza's deteriorating humanitarian conditions, with aid groups reporting disruptions to critical medical supplies and food distribution. Guterres called for immediate de-escalation and adherence to international law, stressing that "aid workers and facilities must never be targets."
This incident highlights growing international scrutiny over the conflict's impact on civilian infrastructure. Analysts warn prolonged hostilities could destabilize regional security and hinder reconstruction efforts.
