The Fourth Geneva Convention states that, among other things, occupying powers such as Israel are obligated to provide food and medical supplies to the people they are occupying.
“No food, no fuel, no medicine,” Guterres was quoted as saying.
Guterres also called for an independent investigation into Israel’s killing of humanitarian aid workers, including UN staff.
According to Al Jazeera, when asked about US President Donald Trump’s plan to forcibly evict Palestinians from Gaza, Guterres said he unequivocally opposed any plan that would do that.
He said it was a violation of international law and that the only solution was for Palestinians to remain on their land and live side-by-side with Israelis.
The UN’s humanitarian agency (OCHA) says the slain aid workers include a staff member of MSF and two with the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS), Al Jazeera reports.
They are Hussam Al Loulou and Mahdi Muhammad Muhammad Abu Subaih and his wife Samira Ismail Ahmad Abdul Hadi.
Their killings bring the total number of humanitarian staff killed since the war on Gaza to at least 412.
OCHA also noted that three Palestinian journalists have been killed in Khan Younis in two separate incidents on April 6 and 7.
In the April 6 attack, Islam Maqdad, a female journalist, was killed along with seven others, including women and children. And in the April 7 attack, during which Israeli forces bombed the media tent near Nasser Hospital, Helmi al-Faqawi burned to death while Ahmed Mansour succumbed to his wounds a day later.
Their deaths take the number of media workers killed in Gaza to at least 208.
The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate said another seven journalists were killed by Israeli forces in March, six of whom were in the field and another who was in his home.
Meanwhile, Indonesia is ready to temporarily shelter Palestinians hit by Israel’s war on Gaza, President Prabowo Subianto has, estimating there could be 1,000 in the first wave, Reuters reports.
Prabowo said he has instructed his foreign minister to quickly discuss with the Palestinian side and other parties about how to evacuate impacted Palestinians to Indonesia, a Muslim-majority country.
“We are ready to evacuate the wounded, the traumatised, the orphans,” Prabowo said, adding the victims would be in Indonesia temporarily until they have fully recovered from their injuries and the situation in Gaza was safe for their return.
Jakarta has been advocating for a two-state solution and has sent humanitarian aid.
