The UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres has warned that the children in Gaza are either dying or witness their parents being killed in Israel’s genocidal war against the besieged strip.

Speaking at the 24th Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit in the Kazakh capital, Astana, Guterres described how Gaza's children are suffering from serious injuries, psychological trauma, and are witnessing the destruction of their homes.
 
"The scenes experienced by Palestinian children in Gaza must stop," Guterres emphasized, calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza for humanitarian reasons and an end to bloodshed. He stressed the urgent need for increased life-saving humanitarian aid to the region.
 
The Secretary-General reiterated the necessity for a clear commitment and roadmap to ensure a two-state solution and the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination.
