The leader of the UN, António Guterres, is sad that the UN Security Council did not ask for fighting to stop in the Gaza Strip. He says the UN has not been able to act.
Speaking at a meeting in Qatar, Guterres says people lost trust in the organization. But he said, “I promise that I will keep trying and not give up. ”
On Friday, the US said no to the resolution asking for a quick stop to fighting in Gaza. They think it would have been risky and not possible.
Guterres used a special UN rule to bring up an important issue that he thinks could cause problems for world peace. This led to a vote being held. He said, “There is a big chance that the humanitarian system will break down. “
