This update from New York regarding the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) convening an emergency meeting underscores the gravity of the situation following the deadly airstrike near Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.
Algeria’s initiative to request the emergency meeting, with Slovenia’s support, highlights the international community’s concern and determination to address the escalating crisis promptly.
The reported casualties from the airstrike, as disclosed by the Hamas-run health authority in Gaza, are deeply troubling. The loss of 45 lives and injuries to numerous others, particularly among women and children, paint a grim picture of the human toll of the conflict.
