In a statement, Guterres emphasised Palestinians possess fundamental right to adequate food and freedom from hunger.
He demanded an immediate independent investigation into the incidents and accountability for those responsible.

Guterres reiterated calls for the unconditional release of all hostages and urged an immediate, permanent ceasefire to halt further suffering.
