UN Officials Call for End to Gaza Humanitarian Crisis

Top UN officials demanded an end to the human suffering and humanitarian crisis in Gaza, nearly a year into the conflict between Israel and Hamas. This call comes as world leaders gather for the U.N. General Assembly in New York.

Top United Nations officials demanded on Monday an immediate end to the "appalling human suffering and humanitarian catastrophe" in the Gaza Strip, which has been ongoing for nearly a year amid the conflict between Israel and Palestinian militants Hamas.

"These atrocities must end," stated the heads of U.N. agencies in a joint statement released as world leaders convened in New York for the annual U.N. General Assembly.

The appeal aims to draw global attention to the dire humanitarian conditions and urge concrete actions to alleviate the crisis.
