Gaza’s Desperate Plea: ‘No Food, No Medicine, No Escape’
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres issued a dire warning Tuesday as Gaza faces its longest humanitarian blockade since 2023. Over a month without aid deliveries has left the enclave’s 2 million+ residents in what Guterres called “an endless death loop.” Basic supplies are “running extremely low,” with lifesaving aid piling up outside closed crossings.
Israel’s Blockade Grinding Aid to a Halt
All crossings into Gaza have remained shut under Israeli orders since March 2, choking off food, fuel, and medicine. Guterres slammed claims that enough aid exists, calling the crisis “far from reality” and urging an immediate ceasefire. “Gaza is a killing field,” he said, demanding Israel comply with international law to protect civilians.
UN Demands: Open Gates, Save Lives
The UN chief called for:
Immediate, unimpeded humanitarian access
Protection for aid workers
Independent probes into attacks on humanitarians
Hostage releases and a permanent truce
With frosty relations between parties, Guterres warned: “The current path is a dead end—intolerable to history.” Will the world listen?
