UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for peace ahead of the one-year anniversary of Israel's war on Gaza.
"The 7th of October is naturally a day to focus on the events of that awful day. I express my solidarity with all the victims and their loved ones," Guterres said in a video message.
"The war that has followed the terrible attacks of one year ago continues to shatter lives and inflict profound human suffering for Palestinians in Gaza and now the people of Lebanon," he added. "It is time for the release of the hostages, time to silence the guns, time to stop the suffering that has engulfed the region, time for peace, international law and justice.”
