UN resolution on Gaza aid criticised as ‘insufficient’, ‘meaningless’

Al Jazeera  

The US negotiated for days to weaken the language of the resolution to ensure there is no call for an immediate ceasefire. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in a post on X that he hopes the resolution can improve the delivery of aid, “but a humanitarian ceasefire is the only way to begin to meet the desperate needs of people in Gaza and end their ongoing nightmare”. REACTION: @Oxfam response to the UN Security Council’s passing of a watered-down resolution instead of calling for a ceasefire in #Gaza 👉https://t.co/iyxtVGElXK@UNSC_Reports pic.twitter.com/tXb11U3ajW — Oxfam International Media Team December 22, 2023 International medical charity Doctors Without Borders said the measure fell “painfully short” of what is needed to address the dire humanitarian crisis. “Anyone with a conscience agrees that a massive scale-up of the humanitarian response in Gaza must take place without delay.” All efforts to address the “unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe” in Gaza must be welcomed, said Agnes Callamard, Amnesty International’s secretary general, but emphasised that “nothing short of an immediate ceasefire is enough”. “During the past five days, the US administration has worked hard to empty this resolution of its essence, and to issue it in this weak formula … it defies the will of the international community and the United Nations General Assembly in stopping Israel’s aggression against our defenceless Palestinian people,” a Hamas statement said.
