UN Secretary-General António Guterres condemned an Israeli strike on Gaza’s Holy Family Church, a civilian shelter, calling attacks on places of worship unacceptable. He urged all parties to protect civilians, ensure the flow of humanitarian aid, and implement an immediate ceasefire along with the release of all hostages. The UN reports that over 737,000 people—35% of Gaza’s population—have been displaced since March, with most housing destroyed and severe shortages of water, shelter, and fuel. While limited fuel deliveries have resumed, the UN emphasizes that much more is needed to sustain life-saving services.
