The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, has issued an urgent call to the Israeli government to halt the execution of a massive military plan in the Gaza Strip. This request comes after the Israeli security cabinet’s recent approval of a large-scale invasion into Palestinian territory.
Liz Throssell, spokesperson for the High Commissioner, emphasized that this action must cease immediately, as it contradicts the rulings of the International Court of Justice, which demand an end to the occupation and the implementation of a two-state solution. Throssell warned of the risk of mass forced displacements and an increase in deaths, which would result in extreme human suffering and atrocities.
Türk has urged Israeli authorities to redirect their efforts toward protecting civilians in Gaza, allowing humanitarian aid to pass without restrictions and demanding the release of all hostages. UN Secretary-General António Guterres has also stated that any further escalation in the conflict would only worsen the suffering of the Palestinian population, reiterating that a lasting solution is not possible without ending the occupation.
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has been exacerbated by the alarming figure of nearly 1,400 deaths of individuals trying to obtain food, according to the head of the UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA). Philippe Lazzarini has described the situation as an “orchestrated massacre” and has called for a restoration of a coordinated humanitarian response. Furthermore, the World Health Organization has reported an increase in deaths related to malnutrition, with 99 fatalities so far this year, including 29 children.
On another front, Sudan is facing a severe crisis. The WHO has reported that the country’s health system has reached its limit due to violence, resulting in 174 attacks on health facilities, causing 1,171 deaths. The cholera epidemic has spread, with outbreaks recorded in nearly all states, while health issues such as measles and malaria have increased. Food insecurity is extreme, with 25 million people at risk of acute hunger.
Finally, the Third UN Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries concluded in Turkmenistan with an ambitious action plan. The signed declaration aims to accelerate sustainable development and strengthen the resilience of 32 countries, such as Bolivia and Paraguay, that lack direct access to the sea. International cooperation and strategic investments will be vital to help these nations face the challenges they encounter.
