The UN Security Council on Thursday took note of Israel's promise to open more crossing points for humanitarian aid in Gaza. The members of the Council call for the immediate removal of all obstacles to the delivery of humanitarian aid.
Israel announced last week, after a firm warning from Washington, the opening of the Erez crossing point and the use of the Israeli port of Ashdod (south) The war broke out on October 7 when Hamas commandos infiltrated from the Gaza Strip carried out an unprecedented attack in southern Israel, resulting in the deaths of 1,170 people, mostly civilians, according to the AFP based on official Israeli data. The Council also underlined the need for a complete, transparent and exhaustive investigation into the death of seven workers from the NGO World Central Kitchen killed by an Israeli strike in early April. The Council denounces the total death of "at least 224" humanitarians since the start of the conflict in Gaza, more than three times the number of people killed in a conflict in one year.
