UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has expressed concern that Israel’s methods of waging war on Gaza are creating “massive obstacles” to delivering humanitarian aid to the war-torn territory, where people are on the brink of famine.
In another development, the US has accused Iran of being “deeply involved” in attacks by the Yemen-based Houthis in the Red Sea.
