UN calls for peace as Gaza Muslims observe Eid amid clashes
The United Nations on Monday reiterated its call for an “immediate and unconditional humanitarian cease-fire” in the Gaza Strip.
In a presidential statement released following a short, emergency Security Council meeting held just after midnight on Sunday, the 15-member Security Council asked Hamas and Israel to “implement the cease-fire into the Eid period and beyond.”
“The Security Council calls for the full implementation of resolution 1860 and stressed the need for immediate provision of humanitarian assistance to the Palestinian civilian population in the Gaza Strip, including through urgent additional contribution to UNRWA,” the statement said.
