UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said the images of thousands of Palestinians rushing to a site where aid is being distributed by a US- and Israeli-backed foundation were “heartbreaking”.
As the Secretary-General noted last week, we and our partners have a detailed, principled and operational plan – supported by Member States – to help this desperate population.
We continue to emphasize that a significant increase in humanitarian operations is essential to prevent famine and meet the needs of all civilians everywhere.
