Guterres condemned Israel’s attack on Palestinians around the aid convoy in Gaza

Stephane Dujarric, the spokesperson of the United Nations, on Thursday local time, reading the statement of Antonio Guterres, added: “The Secretary General of the United Nations has condemned today’s incident in northern Gaza, in which more than a hundred people They died or were injured while receiving life-saving aid, he condemned. The desperate people of Gaza, including civilians in the north, where the United Nations has been unable to provide aid for more than a week, need urgent help.

The spokesperson of the United Nations stated: “The Secretary General of the United Nations is horrified by the tragic human losses of the conflict in Gaza, which according to reports has so far killed more than 30,000 people and wounded more than 70,000 people.” Unfortunately, an unknown number are left under the rubble.”

Dujarric stressed: “The Secretary General of the United Nations called for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire and the unconditional release of all hostages.” He once again called for urgent measures to provide vital humanitarian aid to Gaza

Dozens of Palestinians were martyred by Israeli forces around the aid convoy in northern Gaza on Thursday. Hamas blames the Israeli forces for shooting at the Palestinian population, while Israel, in justifying its crime, claims that most of the casualties were caused by the crowding among the Palestinians, as the crowd rushed towards the trucks and looted them. /p>

Gaza health authorities say that at least 104 Palestinians were killed as a result of this Israeli attack, and the number of Palestinian casualties reached more than 30,000 during the 5-month war.

Gaza health authorities said that more than 750 people were injured as a result of the Israeli attack on Palestinians around the aid convoy. This incident happened when a convoy of 30 relief trucks arrived from Rafah to the north of Gaza to Al-Rashid Street in the west of Gaza City.

Martin Griffiths, UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and UN Emergency Relief Coordinator, also said on Thursday local time that he was “appalled” by the deaths and injuries of hundreds of people during the transfer of aid earlier today.

Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations in the UN Humanitarian Affairs stated: “Life in Gaza is being destroyed at an alarming rate.”

On October 15, 1402, on October 7, 2023, the Palestinian resistance groups launched a surprise operation called “Al-Aqsa Storm” from Gaza (southern Palestine) against the positions of the Israeli regime. On November 24, 2023, a four-day temporary ceasefire was established between Israel and Hamas, or a pause for the exchange of prisoners between Hamas and Israel.

This pause in the war continued for 7 days and finally on the morning of Friday, December 10, 2023, the temporary ceasefire ended and the Israeli regime resumed attacks on Gaza. In order to retaliate for the surprise attacks of the “Al-Aqsa storm” and to compensate for its defeat and stop the resistance operations, this regime has closed all the crossings of the Gaza Strip and is bombarding this area.

The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced in its latest statistics that the number of martyrs in Gaza since the beginning of the Israeli attacks on October 7 (October 15) has reached 30,035 people, and 70,457 Palestinian citizens have also been injured.
