Calling for an end to the Israeli attacks, the ministry statement said that the number of wounded people has risen to 7,696, including 2,000 children and 1,400 women. The meeting was scheduled before the evacuation order, which added still more urgency to the discussion. The UN has said the order affects about half Gaza's population and could turn an already dire humanitarian crisis into a calamity.
The council emerged without any collective message or action from another private session on Sunday on the Israel-Palestine fighting. Divisions in the council, the UN's most powerful body, have sharpened amid Russia's war in Ukraine.US President Joe Biden has reiterated his support for Israel and said that it is"also a priority" for him to urgently address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
