BEIJING: United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Wednesday he was “horrified” by hundreds of people killed in Tuesday’s strike on a Gaza hospital.
Before flying to the Chinese capital to attend the Belt and Road Forum, Guterres said he appealed to Hamas group for an immediate and unconditional release of hostages, and to Israel to allow immediate unrestricted access to humanitarian aid for Gaza.
