UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that a full-scale Israeli military operation in Rafah would severely impact aid programs in Gaza, where humanitarian assistance is already deemed "completely insufficient." Speaking before the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Guterres highlighted the dire situation in Gaza, exacerbated by a 50% reduction in humanitarian aid entering the region in February compared to January, as reported by UNRWA. This decrease in aid comes despite the growing needs of 2 million Palestinians living in desperate conditions. Guterres and other international officials, including the World Health Organization chief, have expressed deep concern over the potential humanitarian implications of an offensive in Rafah, where over a million people are sheltering in crowded conditions, lacking essential resources such as food, water, and medicine.
