UNITED NATIONS, Aug. 27 (Xinhua) — All members of the United Nations Security Council except the United States on Wednesday called for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and demanded that Israel stop expanding military operations in the enclave.
"We call for an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire. We call for the immediate, dignified and unconditional release of all hostages held by Hamas and other groups. We call for a significant increase in humanitarian assistance throughout Gaza," the 14 countries said in a joint statement.
They also called on Israel to immediately reverse its decision to further expand military operations in the Palestinian enclave with the aim of capturing Gaza City. “This decision, which we reject, will inevitably worsen the already dire humanitarian situation and endanger the lives of all civilians, including the hostages,” they said in a joint statement.
States stressed that Israel must immediately and unconditionally lift all restrictions on aid delivery, including opening all land routes and allowing the UN and humanitarian partners to operate safely and at scale.
They stated that the principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence must be central to humanitarian action.
The 14 countries mentioned include Algeria, the United Kingdom, Guyana, Greece, Denmark, China, Pakistan, Panama, the Republic of Korea, Russia, Slovenia, Somalia, Sierra Leone and France. –0–
