Antonio Guterres has urgently requested a humanitarian-based immediate ceasefire.
New York: United Nations Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, has made a passionate plea for an immediate ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, citing humanitarian concerns.
The conflict has caused extensive suffering and has prompted global leaders to take action to alleviate the crisis.
Antonio Guterres's statement, released via a prominent social media platform, emphasizes the urgent need for a ceasefire in the Middle East to address the massive human suffering that has resulted from the conflict.

The United Nations Security Council is poised to vote on a resolution submitted by Brazil that aims to facilitate access to humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.
