UN Secretary-General warns against Rafah operation

Antonio Guterres says an operation in Rafah would have a “devastating impact on Palestinians in Gaza”. “All members of the Security Council, and many other governments, have clearly expressed their opposition to such an operation. I appeal for all those with influence over Israel to do everything in their power to prevent it,” he urged. He added that more than 1.2 million people were seeking refuge in Rafah after fleeing from Israeli bombardments in the north of Gaza. “They have very little to eat, hardly any access to medical care, little shelter, and nowhere safe to go. In northern Gaza, the most vulnerable – from sick children to people with disabilities – are already dying of hunger and disease. We must do everything possible to avert an entirely preventable, human-made famine,” Guterres said. Al Jazeera's Gabriel Elizondo is live from the United Nations for more.
