UN chief Antonio Guterres says he has arrived in Beirut for a “solidarity” visit to Lebanon, where the Middle East war has claimed more than 687 lives since March 2, AFP reports.
“I have just landed in Beirut for a visit of solidarity with the people of Lebanon. They did not choose this war. They were dragged into it,” the United Nations secretary-general said on X.
“The UN and I will spare no effort in striving for the peaceful future that Lebanon and this region so richly deserve.”
