Archived

UN chief Antonio Guterres is "shocked" by Israel's renewed airstrikes on the Gaza Strip and urged that a ceasefire be respected, a United Nations spokesman said Tuesday, AFP reported.  

"The secretary-general is shocked by the Israeli airstrikes in Gaza... he strongly appeals for the ceasefire to be respected, for unimpeded humanitarian assistance to be re-established, and for the remaining hostages to be released unconditionally," UN spokesman Rolando Gomez told a media briefing.
