NEW YORK – UN Secretary General António Guterres on Tuesday affirmed the necessity of upholding the ceasefire deal in the Gaza Strip.
“We must avoid at all costs the resumption of hostilities in Gaza that would lead to an immense tragedy, ” Guterres said in a statement published by the website of the UN on the situation in Gaza.
