9. SOUNDBITE (English) Antonio Guterres, Secretary-General, United Nations:
“And the cost is staggering — measured in human lives, shattered communities, and lost futures. We need look no further than the horror show in Gaza - with a level of death and destruction without parallel in recent times.”

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Antonio Guterres, Secretary-General, United Nations:
“With Israeli military operations intensifying and new displacement orders issued in Deir al-Balah, devastation is being layered upon devastation. I am appalled that UN premises have been struck – among them facilities of the UN Office for Project Services and the World Health Organization, including WHO’s main warehouse. This is despite all parties having been informed of the locations of these UN facilities. These premises are inviolable and must be protected under international humanitarian law – without exception.”

13. SOUNDBITE (English) Antonio Guterres, Secretary-General, United Nations:
“Peace is a choice. And the world expects the UN Security Council to help countries make this choice. This Council is at the centre of the global architecture for peace and security. Its creation reflected a central truth. Competition between states is a geopolitical reality. But cooperation — anchored in shared interests and the greater good — is the sustainable pathway to peace.”
