This Tuesday, the Secretary General of the United Nations (UN), António Guterres, in statements to the media, listed a series of obligations that Israel has as an occupying force and that it is not complying with, which is leading to Gaza being a killing field in which civilians live in an endless vicious circle.

“As an occupying power, Israel has unequivocal obligations under international law, including humanitarian and human rights,” Guterres said from the North American city of New York, according to information published by the Agency.

The UN Secretary General stressed that “not a drop of aid” has arrived in the Gaza Strip for more than a month and added that the lack of food and other basic goods “has reopened the floodgates of horror”.

In this regard, he quoted to the letter the articles of international conventions that establish Israel's obligations to guarantee the supply of food, medicines and essential services to the population; to allow the entry and delivery of humanitarian aid; and to protect medical and relief personnel.
