UN Chief Condemns Gaza Blockade, Labels Region a 'Killing Field'

António Guterres demands immediate humanitarian access and a ceasefire as Gaza faces severe shortages and escalating civilian casualties.

Israel's blockade, in place since March 2, 2025, has halted all humanitarian aid to Gaza, including food, medicine, and fuel.
UN Secretary General António Guterres compared the situation in Gaza to Cambodia's 'Killing Fields' and criticized Israel for violating international humanitarian law.
The renewed Israeli military offensive has caused over 50,000 Palestinian deaths, with hospitals overwhelmed and critical infrastructure destroyed.
Humanitarian organizations report that aid workers face unprecedented dangers, with many killed or detained, and essential supplies unable to reach those in need.
Calls from global leaders and UN agencies for a ceasefire and restoration of aid deliveries intensify as the humanitarian crisis deepens.
