On Saturday, the head of UN visited the border crossing Rafathe gateway to the besieged Palestinian territory, devastated by almost six months of war by which the vast majority of Gaza’s 2.4 million inhabitants are displaced.

“Looking at LinkIt almost seems like the four horsemen [del Apocalipsis]war, famine, conquest and death, are galloping through it” he declared.

“The entire world recognizes that it is time to silence the guns and ensure an immediate humanitarian ceasefire” he added Guterres.

The Israeli government is increasingly subject to international pressure to reduce its bombing and ground offensives in Linkwhich, according to the territory’s Ministry of Health, took the lives of at least 32,226 people, the majority of them women and children.

The war was triggered by the attack of Hamas held on October 7th in Israelwhich left around 1,160 people dead, most of them civilians, according to an AFP count based on Israeli data.
