UN chief decries ‘lack of humanity’ shown for Gaza
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called out the international community for neglecting Palestinians’ suffering in Gaza, which he said presents a “moral crisis that challenges the global conscience”.
“I cannot explain the level of indifference and inaction we see by too many in the international community – the lack of compassion, the lack of truth, the lack of humanity,” Guterres said at a global assembly of rights group Amnesty International.
Protesters condemn Gaza starvation in front of Egyptian embassies in Finland, Norway
In the Finnish capital, Helsinki, activists have demonstrated in solidarity with Palestinians in front of the main gate of the Egyptian embassy to express their rejection of the closure of the Rafah crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip.
Footage posted by pro-Palestinian accounts showed activists placing pictures of Netanyahu and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi on the ground in front of the embassy gate and pouring red paint on them. Police arrived to secure the embassy entrance.
Activists closed the iron gates of the Egyptian embassy in the Norwegian capital, Oslo, in protest against the starvation of the people of Gaza. Embassy security personnel tried to intervene.

Mexico denounces Gaza’s humanitarian crisis
Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum is the latest world leader to speak out on the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza, where starvation has claimed nine lives today. “Of course, we condemn what is happening right now and Mexico is putting all its words and actions into building peace,” Sheinbaum said during a morning news conference.
Also today, the leaders of the UK, France and Germany released a joint statement saying the humanitarian crisis in Gaza “must end now” and that Israel should lift aid restrictions.
Another one with just words:
"Mexico and Israel have a strong and growing trade relationship, bolstered by a Free Trade Agreement signed in 2000. In 2023, two-way trade exceeded US$1.2 billion. Mexico is Israel's second-largest trading partner in Latin America, while Israel is Mexico's most significant partner in the Middle East"
