.ON Oct 24th Antu00f3nio Guterres (visualized), secretary-general of the UN, asked for an edge to the “legendary suffering” caused by Israel’s blockade as well as bombing of the Gaza strip.

Such health conditions, Mr Guterres stated, totaled up to “aggregate discipline of the Palestinian folks” for the grisly strike on Israel carried out on Oct 7th by Hamas, the militant group that runs Gaza.
