Despite Türk's request, he managed to communicate with civil
society representatives from those areas. The
UNHCR head initiated a five-day Middle East tour on Monday,
emphasizing the need for access to Palestinian territories and Gaza, Amad
reported.
Last week, his office stated that Israel "commits various war

Gaza conflict ceasefire, warning of it becoming a
"graveyard for children." In response, Israeli UN representative
Gilad Erdan criticized Guterres, claiming he had lost his moral compass.
