Hamas has not yet responded to the Peace Plan of 20 points in Washington, which has the support of Israel and the international community in general. Hamas’ leadership had not been consulted before the ad, but was informed about the details by the mediators of Qatar and Egyptians later on Monday, according to news reports.
In a statement issued by its spokesman, Guterres said he appreciated the important role played by the Arab and Muslim states towards a sustainable peace agreement: “It is now crucial that all parties are committed to an agreement and its implementation. “
The UN Chief said that the priority must be “relieve the tremendous suffering” caused by the devastating conflict from the attacks of October 7.
“Once again he reiterates his call to a high immediate and permanent fire, humanitarian access without restrictions through Gaza and for the immediate and unconditional liberation of all hostages And expect this to believe the conditions that allow the solution of two states. “
Mass displacement continues
Winter is fast and heavy Israeli military operations in progress in the city of Gaza continue to drive mass displacement.
“It is important that we obtain that stop the fire and then obtain help that flows not only to avoid the famine that continues to move south, but also to ensure that children and families are protected,” said the UN spokesman for children (UNICEF) Ricardo Pires to journalists in gin.
Mr. Pires emphasized that the fall in temperatures in the devastated enclave will create “a completely different range of problems”, including health challenges for children and their families.
Al Mawasi overload
He highlighted the “massive” displacement that occurs when people flee from north to the south. The conditions are terrible in the settlement of coastal tents overcrowded in Al-Mawasi, which “simply cannot absorb the number of people who are moving.”
“We are talking about hundreds of thousands of people, an estimate of 400,000 displaced,” he insisted.
According to the UN Coordination Office (Ocha), only about 18 percent of the Gaza strip is not subject to displacement orders or located within the militarized areas.
People who have lost their homes desperately need refuge and UNICEF has 11,000 tents, as well as canvas sheets “waiting to enter” the strip, Pires said.
“We cannot obtain those supplies … it only shows how conditions in terms of logistics and facilitation of help continue to be very poor,” said.
Echoing his comments, Ocha spokesman Jens Laerke emphasized that the ability of humanitians to distribute help within Gaza is still compromised. Some help has been able to enter, he said, highlighting the fact that community kitchens have “refrained to some extent”, with about 660,000 meals prepared and delivered through 137 kitchens throughout the enclave last Sunday.
The convoys still denied access
But the ability to obtain help in the hands of people depends on humanitarians obtaining permission to collect and deliver it.
“Sometimes it works, sometimes not,” said Mr. Laerke, either because of the non -facilitation of the Israeli side or for other reasons.
The UN said that Sunday denied more than 40 percent of the humanitarian missions that require coordination with the Israeli army.
“Much of the help that has arrived recently, which has been collected, has been taken from trucks by desperate people and in some cases by armed groups,” added Mr. Laerke de Ocha.
He called the current “chaotic” situation and stressed the “absolute” need of a high fire as soon as possible so that humanitians can resume “an adequate and well coordinated help operation.”
