United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has condemned the controversial aid system in Gaza, supported by Israel and the United States, calling it a ‘death sentence’ that is killing people. The initiative, which bypasses the UN, has led to reports of hundreds of aid seekers being killed, sparking international outrage and calls for emergency action.
Guterres’ remarks come amid growing concerns over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where access to food, water, and medical supplies remains severely restricted. The new aid plan, which aims to deliver assistance directly to residents, has drawn criticism for its lack of oversight and the potential risks it poses to those in need.
Human rights organizations and humanitarian groups have raised alarms over the situation, warning that the bypassing of the UN could lead to further casualties and exacerbate the already dire conditions on the ground. Guterres urged immediate reforms to ensure that aid reaches those in need without putting their lives at risk.
