Guterres criticizes the occupation's massacres against those waiting for aid in Gaza: "Unacceptable" and we demand an immediate investigation.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres said, "The killing and injury of civilians in southern Gaza while seeking food is unacceptable," and called for an "immediate and independent" investigation into the matter.

This came in statements made by Farhan Haq, Deputy Spokesman for the UN Secretary-General, during his daily press conference in Geneva, according to the UN News website.

On Tuesday morning, the Israeli occupation forces committed a horrific massacre against those waiting for aid at the Tahlia Roundabout in Khan Yunis Governorate, south of the Gaza Strip. The massacre resulted in the deaths of 51 Palestinians and the injury of more than 200, including 20 in critical condition.

Commenting on the new Israeli massacre against the starving people in the Gaza Strip, Haq conveyed Guterres' condemnation of "the loss of life and injuries among civilians in Gaza, who are once again being shot while seeking food."

The UN Secretary-General stressed that targeting people waiting for food under the siege is "unacceptable."

Haq explained that Guterres "continues to call for an immediate and independent investigation and accountability" into reports of civilians being targeted in Gaza at aid distribution centers.

The UN official stressed that the basic needs of the Palestinian population in Gaza are "enormous and remain unmet."

He stressed the need to resume the "immediate, widespread, and unhindered" delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.

He stressed the "need to allow the United Nations and all humanitarian actors to operate safely and in full respect of humanitarian principles."
