Saudi Arabia voices worry regarding famine proclamation in Gaza

The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a statement, urging the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council (the P5) – France, the United Kingdom, the United States, Russia, and China – to take immediate action to address the ongoing crisis in Gaza.

The statement does not specify any particular actions that the P5 should undertake, but it strongly condemns the genocide committed by the Israeli occupation army against unarmed civilians in Gaza. The ministry has also expressed concern over the famine in Gaza, a situation that has been officially declared a famine by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPSC).

The crisis in Gaza, according to the statement, is a direct result of a lack of mechanisms to hold the Israeli occupation accountable for its repeated crimes. The ministry suggests that the famine and the ongoing war of genocide are stains on the international community that need to be addressed urgently.

The statement does not provide any new information about the UN-backed monitor's report on the situation in Gaza or the number of child deaths in Gaza. However, it implies a call for immediate action by the international community to end the famine and stop the war of genocide and crimes committed by Israel against Palestine.

The worsening humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza remains a significant concern, and the statement from Saudi Arabia's ministry underscores the urgency for the international community to act to alleviate the suffering of the people in Gaza.
