The UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, has made a strong call to the international community by denouncing the use of hunger as a weapon of war. In a video message broadcast during the UN Food Systems Summit held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Guterres emphasized that global conflicts have amplified famine, spreading from Gaza to regions like Sudan. He stated that “hunger fuels instability and undermines peace.”
The situation in Gaza has reached alarming levels, with reports indicating that more children have died from hunger recently. The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has urgently requested authorization for thousands of trucks carrying food, medicine, and hygiene supplies to enter the region, currently blocked by Israel. According to UNRWA, between 500 and 600 trucks are needed daily to prevent a larger food catastrophe, while more than 100 deaths by starvation and over 40 from malnutrition have been documented this month.
Complicating the crisis further, the Israeli Army announced the establishment of a daily humanitarian pause in areas of Gaza without military presence. This measure allows for the limited entry of humanitarian aid, and recently, a convoy of more than 100 trucks was able to access the Strip through the Kerem Shalom crossing in an attempt to alleviate the dire situation of the population.
Meanwhile, a new diplomatic initiative has been launched to promote a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine. France and Saudi Arabia are organizing a conference in New York following President Macron’s announcement of formal recognition of the State of Palestine in September, making France the first G7 member to do so. This recognition supports a UN General Assembly resolution from 1947, which proposed the partition of Palestine into two independent states, a matter of great importance in the current context.
The humanitarian crises in Gaza and the diplomatic efforts appear to be intertwined paths in the search for stability and peace in a region marked by decades of conflict. The international community is keeping a close watch, anticipating new developments in both situations.
