WASHINGTON, Jan ‌2 (Reuters) – ​UN Secretary-General ‌Antonio Guterres is ​deeply concerned by Israel’s ‍announcement of a ​suspension ​of ⁠the operations of several international non-governmental organizations in occupied Palestinian territory and ‌called for the measure ​to be ‌reversed, according ‍to a ⁠statement on Friday.

“This announcement comes on top of earlier restrictions that have already ​delayed critical food, medical, hygiene and shelter supplies from entering Gaza. This recent action will further exacerbate the humanitarian crisis facing Palestinians,” Stephane Dujarric, ​spokesman for the secretary-general, said in the statement.
