UN Secretary-General António Guterres affirmed on Wednesday that aid to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip is “non-negotiable.”
“For nearly two months, Israel has prevented food, fuel, medicine, and commercial supplies from entering Gaza, depriving more than two million people of life-saving aid,” he said in a post on the X platform.
The Gaza Strip, with a population of approximately 2.4 million, is almost entirely dependent on humanitarian aid, which has been completely halted since March 2, when the zionist entity closed the crossings, causing a significant deterioration in the humanitarian situation for Palestinians, according to government, human rights, and international reports.
The UN Secretary-General emphasized that “aid is non-negotiable.” He emphasized that “Israel must protect Palestinian civilians in Gaza and approve and facilitate relief programs.”
