Somali Magazine – UN Secretary-General António Guterres has stated that he “deeply regrets” the return of fighting in Gaza.
“I still hope that it will be possible to renew the pause that was established,” he adds on social media.
“The return to hostilities only shows how important it is to have a true humanitarian ceasefire.”
According to Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry, around 14,800 people have been murdered since Israel launched its campaign against Hamas in Gaza, including approximately 6,000 children.
It began bombing the enclave after Hamas launched an onslaught on Israel on October 7, killing 1,200 Palestinians and capturing approximately 240 more. More than 100 of those hostages were released in the last week in exchange for the release of Palestinian inmates from Israeli jails.
