CAIRO (Reuters) – United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called on Thursday for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza.
“Gaza needs aid at scale and on a sustained basis,” Guterres said during a press conference in Cairo with Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry.
He called on Hamas to release the hostages it seized on Oct. 7, and on Israel to give unrestricted access for aid.
