JAKARTA - The Palestinian authority criticized the UN Security Council because of 'failing' to handle humanitarian disasters in the Gaza Strip and ensure humanitarian assistance, when the death toll continued to grow in the region.
The Palestinian Authority Foreign Ministry said, "The UN Security Council sinks in a sad double standard and has no minimum consensus regarding its duties and responsibilities, on the humanitarian disaster that befell our people and is a new Nakba," referring to the mass transfer of Palestinians in 1940 -an when the state of Israel is formed.
"The ministry firmly rejects the politicization of the entry of all humanitarian assistance into the Gaza Strip continuously, considers it as a blatant violation of international law and international human rights law," the ministry was quoted by CNN on October 23.
Furthermore, the ministry also called for the formation of a permanent humanitarian corridor, to provide assistance and protection to Palestinians in Gaza.
Last weekend, as many as 34 aid trucks arrived in Gaza through Rafah, Egypt on Saturday and Sunday. While security sources said that on Monday, the convoy of the third humanitarian assistance truck had arrived in Rafah from Egypt.
Israel's total bombing and blockade of Palestinian pockets has caused more than 2 million civilians at risk of severe dehydration and hunger.
