The US envoy to the United Nations has called on Israel to urgently address the dire situation in Gaza, warning that the current conditions are catastrophic and in need of immediate action. The envoy emphasized that actions by the Israeli government to limit the delivery of aid would only worsen the suffering of the people in Gaza.
Despite predictions made months ago, the critical conditions in the enclave have yet to be adequately addressed, according to the US ambassador. The ongoing year-long bombardment by Israel has resulted in over 41,000 casualties, severely impacting the healthcare system and leading to a humanitarian crisis for the 1.9 million displaced Palestinians in Gaza.
The US has expressed deep concern over draft Israeli legislation that aims to designate the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) as a 'terrorist' organization and potentially restrict its operations in Israel. This move could further exacerbate the already dire situation in Gaza, where UNRWA plays a crucial role in providing essential services to the Palestinian population.
The US ambassador stressed the urgent need for Israel to take immediate steps to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and prevent further deterioration of the situation. The international community is closely monitoring the developments in Gaza and calls for swift action to alleviate the suffering of the affected population.
