The US veto on Friday against a proposed UN Security Council (UNSC) resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza has triggered conversation and a call to action to use a rare United Nations resolution in efforts to stop Israel’s brutal war on Gaza. Egypt and Mauritania on Monday invoked Resolution 377A (V) to call for an emergency meeting of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) on Tuesday. The resolution says that if the UNSC is not able to discharge its primary responsibility of maintaining global peace due to lack of unanimity, the UNGA can step in.

Earlier we reported the World Health Organization executive board unanimously voted in favour of a resolution calling for “immediate and unimpeded” healthcare aid for Gaza. It was only the seventh time in the UN body’s 75-year history that such a vote took place. “It is an important moment for WHO – an organisation focusing on international public health. For me, it is a victory of the humanity. A victory of member states in promoting health, protecting the vulnerable, and saving lives,” said Dr Ahmed al-Mandhari, regional WHO director. He noted the concern in Geneva as colleagues working in Gaza told the horror stories of what’s happening there. “Our colleagues are […]
The number of Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks has risen to 17,700 since the war began on October the 7th. For those who’ve managed to survive — the so-called safe areas can be extremely dangerous. Israel says what it calls ‘safe zones’ will be spared the bombing and fighting that’s devastated much of the rest of the territory. More than 1.8 million people in Gaza have been forced from their homes. And there are fewer and fewer designated ‘safe’ areas left to flee to. The sandy, barren 6.5 square-kilometre patch of terrain in al-Mawasi is one of them. Al Jazeera’s Youmna El Sayed reports from Rafah at al-Mawasi. Subscribe to […]

Israel’s war on Gaza has stirred up intense opposition in many parts of the world. Often, voices critical of the Israeli military assault are branded as anti-semitic. But as Al Jazeera’s Rob Reynolds reports, many activists and scholars say legitimate criticism should not be regarded as racist, simply in order to stifle critics.

Antonio Guterres has begun his address to the Security Council during a session to discuss the resolution for an “immediate humanitarian ceasefire” in Gaza. This is what he has said so far: “We have already seen the spillover in the occupied West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Yemen. There is clearly, in my view, a serious risk of aggravating existing threats to the maintenance of international peace and security”. “The risk of collapse of the humanitarian system is fundamentally linked to the complete lack of safety and security for our staff in Gaza and with the nature and intensity of military operations which are severely limiting access to people in […]
The UN secretary general Antonio Guterres has invoked his most powerful diplomatic tool to try to stop the killing of Palestinians in Gaza. He’s directing the security council to discuss the ‘humanitarian catastrophe’ and is calling for an urgent truce. Israel dismissed the move as a ‘new moral low’ and said Guterres should resign.
