The 14 countries of the Security Council call for immediate action to address the famine in Gaza.
Jin10 News on August 28: On August 27 local time, Guyana and Slovenia, as informal joint coordinators of the Security Council's "Conflict and Hunger Issues," issued a joint statement at the United Nations headquarters with all members of the Security Council except the United States, expressing shock and concern over the United Nations agency's report confirming famine in the Gaza Strip. This is the first officially confirmed famine in the Middle East. Representatives from various countries emphasized that this is a "man-made crisis," and the use of hunger as a weapon of war is explicitly prohibited under international humanitarian law. They called for an immediate, unconditional, and permanent ceasefire, demanded the release of all hostages, a significant increase in humanitarian aid to Gaza, and urged Israel to lift all restrictions on aid shipments. The statement also called on Israel to revoke its decision to expand military operations and occupy Gaza City to prevent further deterioration of the humanitarian situation.
