Stop making civilians ‘pay with their lives and future’: UN chief’s plea on anniversary of Oct. 7

NEW YORK: UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Monday called for an immediate halt to hostilities in Gaza, Israel and the wider region, as he urged leaders to stop taking action that causes civilians to “pay with their lives and their futures.” Marking the second anniversary of the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups against Israel, he also reiterated his demand for the unconditional release of all hostages still held in the territory. “End the suffering for all,” Guterres said of the situation in Gaza.
