The UN Security Council will hold an open session this evening at the request of Algeria, Guyana, Switzerland and Slovenia, to discuss the food security situation in Gaza.
The Algerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs explained that “at the request of Algeria, Guyana, Switzerland and Slovenia, the UN Security Council will hold an open session this evening, February 27, at three o’clock New York time, to discuss the situation of food security in Gaza.”
The United Nations warned that “food insecurity in the Gaza Strip has reached a very critical state.” The Civil Defense Directorate in the Gaza Strip also stated that Israel’s continued prevention of the entry of food and medicine threatens the lives of more than 700,000 Palestinians.
The Gaza Strip, which is subjected to continuous Israeli bombing, is living in extremely difficult humanitarian conditions, amounting to famine, as stated in a memorandum by the United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs that was received by the Security Council on the twenty-second of this month.
