The Palestinian Authority’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs harshly criticized the United Nations Security Council for failing to address the “humanitarian catastrophe” in Gaza.
The ministry, which is based in the occupied West Bank, stated that “the UN Security Council is drowning in miserable double standards and lacks even a minimum consensus on its duties and responsibilities relating to the humanitarian catastrophe that has befallen our people and which is equivalent to the new Nakba. ”
The Nakba refers to the mass displacement of Palestinians in the 1940s when the State of Israel emerged.
“The Ministry strongly rejects the politicization of the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip and considers this a flagrant violation of international law and human rights,” the statement said.
The note also called for the creation of permanent humanitarian corridors to provide aid and protection to Palestinians in Gaza.
Two small convoys of trucks entered Gaza through the Rafah crossing on the border with Egypt over the weekend. However, aid groups warn that a few dozen trucks are not enough to resolve the humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian territory with more than 2 million inhabitants.
On Monday morning, the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza reported that 5,087 people, including 2,055 children and 1,119 women, had been killed since October 7.
