UN Chief Warns of Gaza Bloodshed and Calls for Urgent Ceasefire

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has once again warned the world about the growing dangers in Gaza. Speaking during an international meeting in Tokyo, he said Israel’s new plan to capture Gaza City could create a humanitarian disaster. According to him, thousands of innocent civilians are already struggling without food, water, and medicine, and more military action will only make their suffering worse.

UN chief warns of Gaza City invasion leading to more civilian deaths

Guterres explained that Gaza City is heavily populated and that an invasion will bring mass civilian deaths. He described the military plan as “a dangerous escalation” and urged Israel to stop its new operation immediately.

He also appealed to Hamas and other armed groups to stop firing rockets, warning that every new step toward violence will push peace further away. The UN believes that dialogue and negotiation are the only paths forward, not more bombs and bullets.

Israel has ordered around 60,000 reservists to join its army, saying that the operation to capture Gaza City is now entering a new stage. This move has worried leaders across the world, who fear that such a massive mobilization means more fighting, not peace.

While ceasefire talks continue behind closed doors, Israel says its security is at risk and that military action is necessary. Critics argue that sending more troops only increases the chances of bloodshed and delays humanitarian relief.

Gaza civilians trapped in hunger, disease, and lack of aid

The humanitarian situation inside Gaza is getting worse every day. Families have no regular access to food, and many children are suffering from malnutrition. Hospitals are overcrowded and running out of medicine, while diseases spread quickly in makeshift shelters.

Aid trucks are waiting at the border, but most cannot enter because of ongoing military operations and political disagreements. The UN and aid organizations warn that people are dying not only from bombs but also from hunger and preventable illnesses.

Amid these challenges, Hamas has recently said it is ready to accept a temporary 60-day ceasefire. This proposal was strongly supported by Arab countries like Qatar and Egypt, who continue to act as mediators.

UN demands humanitarian access and immediate release of hostages

Guterres also demanded that Hamas release all hostages without conditions. At the same time, he called on Israel to open safe humanitarian corridors so that food, water, and medicine can reach civilians in need. He reminded both sides that international law must be respected, especially when it comes to protecting civilians.

According to him, no political or military objective can justify the starvation or suffering of innocent people. The UN continues to work with regional partners to find solutions, but the situation on the ground remains very dangerous.

The latest warnings from the UN highlight a grim reality: Gaza is at risk of complete collapse if fighting continues. While small signs of compromise have appeared, such as Hamas showing readiness for a ceasefire, the lack of agreement from all sides keeps the crisis alive.
