He warned of the severe risk of a collapse in the humanitarian system and called on the international community to prevent further escalation and spare the civilian population from greater harm.

"UN Urges Immediate End to Israel-Palestine Crisis as Death Toll Soars"

UN relief chief Martin Griffiths and other UN agency leaders have called for the immediate release of over 240 hostages held by Hamas in Gaza since October 7th. They urged all parties to respect international humanitarian and human rights law and protect civilians and essential infrastructure. The leaders condemned the killings of civilians and the ongoing deprivation of food, water, medicine, electricity, and fuel in Gaza. The death toll has reached 9,770, including 4,008 children and 2,550 women, with many people missing and presumed trapped under rubble. Hospitals and healthcare facilities have been targeted, and over 100 attacks on healthcare have been reported. The situation has led to a halt in medical evacuations and a rise in diseases due to displacement and water shortages. UNRWA shelters have been repeatedly hit by Israeli fire, making them unsafe for displaced people seeking refuge.

UN General Assembly emergency session: A critical look at Israel-Palestine tensions

A UN General Assembly emergency special session is convened when the Security Council is deadlocked and unable to address urgent peace and security matters. These sessions are called to discuss and make recommendations on collective measures, including ceasefires and the use of armed force if necessary. Unlike the Security Council, the General Assembly does not have veto power, and resolutions adopted are non-binding. The Middle East has been a hot spot for these sessions, with six out of the 11 sessions relating to the region. The current session focuses on the illegal Israeli actions in Occupied East Jerusalem and the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
