UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned on Thursday that the escalation and spread of conflicts are exacerbating humanitarian suffering and deepening inequalities around the world, as the repercussions of wars extend to global energy markets, supply chains, and financial systems.
Speaking to journalists at UN headquarters on the eve of his departure for Egypt on Friday, Guterres said that the impacts of conflicts are now transcending the regions where they originate, affecting the lives of people worldwide.
He pointed to growing frustration among populations globally due to rising living costs and shrinking opportunities for young people to secure a better future.
He highlighted that protracted conflicts from the Middle East to Ukraine and Sudan have seen continuous attacks targeting homes, hospitals, schools, airports, and energy facilities, calling for an end to such violations, respect for international law, and the protection of civilians.
