📢 🇺🇳 🇮🇱 Guterres urges Security Council to act over Israel-Palestine crisis as threat to international peace and security
🔶️ Invoking a rarely used article of the UN Charter, Secretary-General António Guterres on Wednesday called on the Security Council to “press to avert a humanitarian catastrophe” in Gaza and unite in a call for a full humanitarian ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian militants.
🔶️ Mr. Dujarric explained that the UN chief was taking the step “given the scale of the loss of human life in Gaza and Israel, in such a short amount of time”.
🔶️ Mr. Guterres said there is simply no effective protection for civilians and nowhere is safe.
🔶️ “Hospitals have turned into battlegrounds”, he added, saying that amid the constant bombardment of all parts of Gaza “and without shelter or the essentials to survive, I expect public order to completely break down soon”.
🔶️ Turning to the 15 November Council Resolution 2712, he said the current conditions were making it impossible to scale up humanitarian supplies, to meet the huge needs of civilians – as the resolution demands.
🔶️ “We are simply unable to meet those in need inside Gaza”, he wrote, and facing “a severe risk of collapse of the humanitarian system.”
🔶️ The consequences of that have irreversible implications for Palestinians and the peace and security of the entire region, he argued.
🔶️ “Such an outcome must be avoided at all cost. The international community has a responsibility to use all its influence to prevent further escalation and end this crisis.
🔶️ “I reiterate my appeal for a humanitarian ceasefire to be declared. This is urgent. The civilian population must be spared from greater harm.”
🔶️ He stressed that with a ceasefire, there was hope “and humanitarian assistance can be delivered in a safe and timely manner”.

"Why does it have to be a law? Should we have the freedom to decide?"
