Oxam's Khalidi to UNSC on Gaza's humanitarian crisis: 'History won't remember reports or meetings'

Описание: Bushra Khalidi, Head of Humanitarian Policy at Oxfam International, did not mince her words at the UN Security Council when discussing the catastrophic humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip caused by the Israeli blockade.

"147,000 aid trucks were supposed to enter Gaza, but less than 52,000 trucks entered the Strip," Khalidi stated, and added that "the UN and humanitarian organizations are being prevented from carrying out their missions."

In a bold statement, Khalidi told UNSC members, "History will not remember how many reports were filed or how many meetings were convened. It will judge whether, when confronted with lives and futures being obliterated, this Council acted with urgency, with courage, with humanity."
