Mansour: The Security Council should take immediate action and cease fire in Gaza Strip

New York, (ST) – The Permanent Representative of Palestine to the United Nations Riyad Mansour renewed his call on the UN Security Council to take immediate action and cease fire in Gaza Strip, and to stop the forced displacement and ethnic cleansing committed by the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian people.

In three identical letters to the UN Secretary-General, the President of the Security Council, and the President of the UN General Assembly, Mansour warned, according to Wafa News Agency, of the repercussions of the catastrophic and dangerous humanitarian situation in the stricken Strip, which is becoming more dangerous with every minute due to the continuation of the crime of genocide of the occupation.

Mansour stressed that the horrific massacres committed by the occupation in the northern Gaza Strip are an attempt at genocide.

He referred to the statement of the heads of the Standing Inter-Agency Committee, which includes 19 UN and humanitarian organizations, in which they warned of the tragic situation in the north due to the continued bombing, siege, and deprivation of Palestinians of basic aid and life-saving supplies for nearly a month.

Mansour addressed the continued Israeli attacks on UNRWA schools that have been turned into shelters, on hospitals and health care workers, including maternity and neonatal hospitals, and on humanitarian workers, noting that the number of martyrs and wounded in Gaza as a result of the continued brutal Israeli occupation aggression has exceeded 145,000, most of whom are children and women, and in the West Bank, 775 people have been martyred since October 7, 2023.
