The Ceasefire Must be Established Immediately and Extended Without Delay

TEHRAN (Defapress) - Al Jazeera quoted Stephane Dujarric, the spokesman for the UN Secretary-General, as saying in response to the recent developments in Gaza: "Antonio Guterres, the Secretary-General of the organization, has warned that more than 7 weeks have passed since Israel prevented the entry of humanitarian aid and essential data-x-items into the Gaza Strip."

According to Dujarric, Guterres also expressed deep concern over the bombing of Al-Ahli Hospital in the Gaza Strip by Israeli forces.

Dujarric also pointed out the worsening humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, adding: "About 70 percent of the population of Gaza is currently under Israeli forced evacuation orders, which has left millions of Palestinians without any safe place to take refuge."

The UN Secretary-General's spokesperson stressed that, under international law, civilians must be protected at all times and that respect for them is mandatory.

He concluded by stressing that the ceasefire must be established immediately and extended without delay.
