Pep Guardiola has been Manchester City manager since 2016

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola said he is "so scared" by the "painful" war in Gaza as he delivered an emotional speech.

It is 20 months since Israel launched a military campaign in Gaza in response to the unprecedented Hamas-led cross-border attack on Israel on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage.

At least 54,880 people have been killed in Gaza since, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry.

Guardiola, 54, was speaking as he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Manchester on Monday.
