New York [US], September 2: UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Tuesday called for an end to Israeli strikes in Gaza and occupier violence in the West Bank. "In Gaza, the ceasefire must be respected," Guterres said at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit. He called for the immediate removal of obstacles to humanitarian aid. The ceasefire in Gaza took effect last October. Since then, Israel has killed more than 1,320 Palestinians and injured more than 4,385 others, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.
