UN Security Council adopts resolution calling for humanitarian pauses, corridors in Gaza, Britain, Russia and the US abstained

The UN Security Council on Wednesday adopted a resolution calling for urgent and extended humanitarian pauses and corridors in Gaza.

Resolution 2712 calls for urgent and extended humanitarian pauses and corridors throughout the Gaza Strip "for a sufficient number of days" to enable the full, rapid, safe, and unhindered humanitarian access; to facilitate the continuous, sufficient and unhindered provision of essential goods and services throughout Gaza, including water, electricity, fuel, food, and medical supplies, as well as emergency repairs to essential infrastructure; and to enable urgent rescue and recovery efforts, including for missing children in damaged and destroyed buildings, and including the medical evacuation of sick or injured children and their caregivers.

The resolution won the support of 12 of the 15 council members. Britain, Russia and the United States abstained.

It demands that all parties comply with their obligations under international law, including international humanitarian law, notably with regard to the protection of civilians, especially children.

  1. Постпред Израиля в ООН Гилад Эрдан в соцсети X назвал принятую Советом безопасности ООН резолюцию Мальты по сектору Газа оторванной от реальности.
    Совет безопасности ООН ранее принял резолюцию Мальты, сфокусированную на проблеме защиты детей в секторе Газа. За резолюцию проголосовали 12 стран. Три воздержались - среди них Россия, поправку которой о призыве к немедленному перемирию в проект не включили, а также США и Великобритания. Согласно резолюции, Совбез ООН "требует от всех сторон соблюдения обязательств в рамках международного права, в том числе международного гуманитарного права, в частности, в вопросе защиты мирных граждан, особенно детей".
