The United Nations Security Council met on Wednesday to address the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Several countries pushed for urgent measures in response to the increasing number of starving children and deadly incidents at aid distribution sites.

Delegates called on Israel to lift restrictions not only on food but also on vital supplies like fuel and water. Many accused Israel of violating international law, with UN Relief Chief Tom Fletcher among those condemning the blockade’s devastating effects on civilians.

The session underscored mounting international pressure for swift and meaningful action to alleviate Gaza’s suffering.
