The Palestinian ambassador to the United Nations, Riyad Mansour, underlined that so far more than 8,000 people have been killed in the small Palestinian enclave.
The Palestinian ambassador to the United Nations, Riyad Mansour, emphasized in an address to the UN Security Council that the Gaza Strip has now turned into “hell on Earth.”
He used a quote from former UN Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjöld, who in 1954 had said that the international organization “was not created to go to heaven, but to save us from hell.”
He added: “Gaza is now hell on Earth.”
The diplomat pointed out that so far more than 8,000 people have been killed in the small Palestinian enclave, including more than 3,000 in its southern part, where Israel ordered Gazans to move, “forcibly displaced hundreds of thousands of people.”
“Almost all our people in Gaza are now homeless, or displaced, or being moved from one house to another, or sleeping in their car, or sleeping on the street — and being killed wherever they go, to make sure there is no safe place » in the pouch.
“Saving humanity from hell today means for the United Nations to save the Palestinians in Gaza,” Mr Mansour insisted, calling on member states to treat his countrymen “with dignity”: “Save them. See them as human beings.”
