United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres the said the UN continues to appeal to Israeli forces to avoid further action that would exacerbate the already catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza and to spare civilians from more suffering, said Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesman for the Secretary-General. Civilians - including health workers, journalists and UN personnel - and civilian infrastructure must be protected at all times, said the statement. The Secretary-General reiterated the need for unimpeded and sustained humanitarian aid flow to meet the needs of the people throughout the Strip. 'For people ordered to evacuate, there is nowhere safe to go and very little to survive on.' The Secretary-General also remained gravely concerned about the escalation of violence in the occupied West Bank, including intensified Israeli security operations, high numbers of fatalities and arrests, and spiking settler violence, added the statement. The Secretary-General reiterated his call for a sustained humani tarian ceasefire in Gaza. Source: Palestine news and Information Agency – WAFA
