Palestinian presidency urges UN Security Council to act over Israeli violations

The Palestinian presidency has held Israeli authorities fully responsible for the worsening humanitarian disaster in the Gaza Strip, citing the ongoing military operations and blockade. It highlighted the flooding of displaced persons’ tents due to rain, the lack of safe shelter, heating, and basic necessities. The presidency called on the UN Security Council to take immediate action to stop Israeli violations, compel Israel to fulfill its obligations, open all crossings for the delivery of humanitarian, medical, and relief aid without restrictions or obstacles, and provide international protection for the Palestinian people.

The presidency stressed that the continued humanitarian suffering and deprivation of basic living conditions for Palestinians is a result of ongoing Israeli aggression, obstruction of humanitarian and relief aid, and non-compliance with the UN Security Council resolution and the US President Donald Trump’s plan for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. It called for urgent international action to end this suffering.
