'We must push for lasting peace in Gaza', UN chief insists as starvation threat nears

With 'starvation bearing down' on Gaza, UN Secretary-General António Guterres on Monday repeated his call for a sustainable end to the conflict and the release of all remaining hostages amid 'unprecedented and ongoing devastation' in the occupied enclave.

'The need is urgent,' Mr. Guterres said in Amman, alongside Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman Safady, as he pledged to keep pushing 'for the removal of all obstacles to life-saving aid, for more access and more entry points' into Gaza.
