The UN takes no position on the catastrophic attack on the hospital in Gaza. Despite the words of Joe Biden and Israel, which blamed Hamas for radar data and terrorist interceptions, the United Nations maintains a wait-and-see profile of what happened in the Strip. The speaker was the UN special coordinator for the Middle East peace process, Tor Wennesland, who expressed himself as follows at the Security Council meeting: “Last night I watched with horror the news of mass casualties in what should have been a protected location. Hundreds of Palestinians were killed when the al-Ahli hospital in Gaza City was hit. The circumstances of this catastrophe and responsibility remain unclear and will need to be thoroughly investigated, but the outcome is very clear, it is a terrible tragedy for the involved.”
“What we don’t have, and what we desperately need, is – UN humanitarian affairs chief Martin Griffiths told the Security Council – immediate and safe humanitarian access across Gaza. The United Nations and its humanitarian partners need, therefore, there is an urgent need for a mechanism agreed by all interested parties to enable the regular supply of emergency needs in the Strip.” “We urgently need additional funding for UN agencies such as UNRWA and WFP that provide emergency assistance to Palestinians,” Griffiths appealed.
