Meanwhile, several people, including medical workers, were killed and injured in shelling in frontline areas of Ukraine yesterday and this morning, according to local authorities. Civilian infrastructure was also damaged. The UN Humanitarian Office reports that civilians are being evacuated.

The situation in Gaza

Continued attacks in Gaza City are hitting homes and tents, further exacerbating the plight of civilians, the UN Humanitarian Office warns. Almost 11,000 people are estimated to have fled from the northern part of the enclave to the south in the last 24 hours. At three points along these routes, aid teams are helping children who have been injured, orphaned or separated from their caregivers. The UN is supporting community kitchens, clean water distribution and health services in Gaza City and elsewhere in the enclave.

Security Council on UAVs in Poland

UN Security Council convened for an emergency meeting on Friday, to discuss the events of 9-10 September, when Russian drones violated Polish airspace. Residential areas were damaged. The Security Council meeting was initiated by Poland. Speaking at the meeting, Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs Rosemary DiCarlo once again called on all parties to act responsibly and to avoid any steps or statements that could lead to further escalation of tensions that have already reached dangerous levels.

Peace Day

To achieve peace and keep it, decisive steps and a willingness to compromise are needed. With these words, the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres spoke at a ceremony marking the upcoming Peace Day in the Japanese Garden at the UN headquarters on Friday. In keeping with tradition, the UN chief rang the Peace Bell, which was made from coins brought from 60 countries. In his speech, Guterres recalled the UN's mission and warned of growing threats to peace.
