In #UNSC mtg on Middle East, @MSF SG Christopher Lockyear says: "Israeli forces have attacked our convoys, detained our staff, bulldozed our vehicles, hospitals have been bombed and raided. And now for a second time, one of our staff shelters has been hit. This pattern of attacks is either intentional or indicative of reckless incompetence. Our colleagues in #Gaza are fearful that as I speak to you today, they will be punished tomorrow."
He adds: "The humanitarian response in Gaza today is an illusion. A convenient illusion that perpetuates a narrative that this war is being waged in line with international laws. Calls for humanitarian assistance have echoed across this chamber. Yet in Gaza we have less and less every day, less space, less medicine, less food, less water, less safety."
30,000 killed. 1.8 million displaced. Thousands of children starving slowly to death. That is the collective punishment of the Palestinian people.
This is not the time for equivocation. This is the time for an immediate and permanent ceasefire.
Pretty sure that whoever wrote "shoot-from-the-hip-into-his-own-foot style" took the rest of the day off. Fantastic description. https://t.co/OlA7AUBF6q
