The Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterich, said that he called for an immediate ceasefire between Palestine and Israel, stressing that thousands had left

their homes in Gaza and the children of the Strip were paying a heavy price for the crisis, adding that "emphasis must be placed on an immediate ceasefire. The evacuation of

Palestinians from East Jerusalem must cease. "

At the United Nations General Assembly meeting on confrontations between Israel and Palestinian factions, Guterich stated that Israel was required to deliver food and medicine

to Gaza and that civilians must be protected and the indiscriminate bombing of them stopped.
