Gaza becoming a "graveyard for children," UN chief warns

The Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres, has called for a "humanitarian ceasefire" in Gaza, warning that the region is becoming a "graveyard for children."

Speaking on Monday, Guterres expressed concern over the "clear violations of international humanitarian law" and announced a humanitarian aid bill of $1.2 billion to assist those affected by the ongoing crisis.

The aid is aimed at 2.7 million people, including the entire population of Gaza and half a million Palestinians living in the West Bank. Guterres emphasized the need for additional funding to ensure that the aid reaches those in need.

"The nightmare in Gaza is more than a humanitarian crisis, it's a crisis in humanity," Guterres said. "The intensifying conflict is shaking the world, rattling the region, and most tragically destroying so many innocent lives."
