UN chief warns return to war in Gaza would be 'catastrophic'

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Saturday warned against a return to hostilities in war-torn Gaza, saying such an outcome would be "catastrophic."

As the first phase of the Israel-Hamas truce agreement drew to a close with uncertainty over the following steps, Guterres said in a statement that a "permanent ceasefire and the release of all hostages are essential to preventing escalation and averting more devastating consequences for civilians."
