UN chief in Beirut for Lebanon 'solidarity' visit
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he had arrived in Beirut on Friday for a "solidarity" visit to Lebanon, where the Middle East war has claimed more than 687 lives since 2 March.
"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," Guterres 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," he added.
