Mr. Guterres extended his congratulations to millions of Muslims worldwide on the occasion of Ramadan and underscored the importance of aiding those in need during this time.

In a video message, Mr. Guterres lamented that many would celebrate this month amidst conflict, displacement, and fear. His thoughts and heart are with those facing such challenges, from Afghanistan to the shores of Africa, and beyond.

The Secretary-General reiterated his solidarity with the people of Gaza enduring hardship during these trying times and expressed hope that Ramadan would bring peace to the region.

The ongoing conflict in Gaza has led to a dire humanitarian crisis, with severe shortages of medical care, foodstuffs, and other essentials.

Civilians in Gaza are suffering immensely, caught in the crossfire of the conflict, facing not only physical but also psychological trauma due to the continuous violence and instability.

Lack of access to adequate medical care exacerbates the suffering of the people in Gaza, with hospitals overwhelmed and supplies running critically low.

Urgent international intervention is needed to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, ensuring that essential aid reaches those in need and working towards a sustainable ceasefire to bring lasting peace to the region.
