Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan criticized the UN on Tuesday for its inaction in Gaza, claiming it has become "the world's largest children's and women's cemetery."

Erdogan told the UN General Assembly that "Not only children but also the UN system is dying in Gaza," adding that "The truth, the values that the West claims to defend are dying ... I ask openly: Hey human rights organizations, aren't those in Gaza and West Bank human beings?"

The Turkish Foreign Ministry on Monday warned that "Israel's" attacks on Lebanon risk plunging the Middle East further into "chaos."

The Turkish president said that "Israel" must be stopped through what he called "an alliance of humanity."

"Israel's attacks on Lebanon mark a new phase in its efforts to drag the entire region into chaos," the Foreign Ministry said in an early statement.

It further called on the international community to take urgent action to halt the hostilities.

'Israel' conducting attacks akin to a terrorist organization: Erdogan

Erdogan condemned the Israeli attacks in Lebanon Saturday, pointing out that these actions validate Turkiye’s concerns regarding "Israel’s" broader ambitions to expand war across the region.

Speaking to the press in Istanbul on Saturday before departing for New York, Erdogan accused "Israel" of conducting attacks akin to a terrorist organization.

"With this attack [pager explosions in Lebanon], Israel demonstrated it has no civilian sensitivities, it can use any means to achieve its hateful ambitions," he indicated, as quoted by Anadolu Agency.

According to the Turkish leader, the assault further indicates "Israel's" intent to escalate its attacks throughout Lebanon and the wider region, supported by certain Western nations.

Erdogan warned that the region is now grappling with an "inexplicably huge crisis," urging the international community, particularly Western nations, to "stop watching Israel's heinous actions and take deterrent steps."

Gaza is a 'non-stop nightmare': UN Chief

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has criticized the increased "level of impunity" internationally. Speaking to an annual summit of world leaders on Tuesday, Guterres said the situation in Gaza is a "non-stop nightmare."

According to Guterres in his address to the General Assembly, the "level of impunity in the world is politically indefensible and morally intolerable," detailing how a "growing number of governments and others feel entitled to a 'get out of jail free' card."

The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza announced on Tuesday that the number of Palestinians killed in the Strip on the 354th day of the ongoing Israeli genocidal war has risen to 41,467 with 95,921 people wounded.

In its daily report, the ministry noted that Israeli occupation forces committed three massacres in Gaza over the past 24 hours, killing 12 Palestinians and injuring 43 others.

On Monday, the correspondent said that the Israeli demolition of residential blocks continues as part of its systematic campaign to prevent Palestinians from returning to their homes.

Israeli media have reported previously that the occupation intends to establish settlements and military bases in the leveled areas.

Furthermore, the Israeli aggression in Gaza has expanded to neighboring Lebanon with 558 citizens, including 50 children killed, and1,835 others injured, Lebanese Health Minister Firass Abiad said during a press conference on Tuesday.
