Guterres: Hunger fuels instability and undermines peace

ADDIS ABABA, (Palestine Foundation Information Center) UN chief Antonio Guterres said on Monday “food must not be used as a weapon of war,” highlighting the worsening hunger crises in Gaza and Sudan as world leaders gathered for a food summit in Africa

“Conflicts continue to spread hunger in Gaza and beyond, and hunger, in turn, fuels instability and undermine peace. We must never accept its use as a weapon of war,” Guterres explained in a video address at the UN Food Systems Conference held in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa.

Meanwhile, the World Health Organization has warned that malnutrition in the Gaza Strip has reached “alarming levels” since Israel imposed a total blockade on Gaza on March 2.
