UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the catastrophic level of hunger and the risk of famine in Gaza is "unacceptable."

Guterres indicated, in a post on the "X" platform, today, Thursday, that the results of the latest report of the United Nations Integrated Food Security Phase Classification are "worrying."

He explained that the catastrophic level of hunger and the risk of famine in Gaza, caused by Israeli restrictions on the flow of humanitarian aid, rising prices and levels of displacement, is "unacceptable."

He stressed the need to open the crossings urgently, indicating that this would enable the United Nations organizations to provide the necessary life-saving humanitarian aid.
