Seminar
With the continued escalation of violence in Gaza and the denial of essential supplies of food, water, fuel and other basic necessities, the humanitarian situation in Gaza becomes more critical by the day.
On 26 October, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution on the situation in Gaza, calling for an “immediate, durable and sustained humanitarian truce leading to a cessation of hostilities.”
The resolution also demanded that all parties “immediately and fully comply” with obligations under international humanitarian and human rights laws, “particularly in regard to the protection of civilians and civilian objects.” It also urged the protection of humanitarian personnel, facilities and assets, and to enable humanitarian access for essential supplies and services to reach all civilians in need in Gaza.
Join these upcoming seminars to discuss the imperative of a humanitarian ceasefire and what the conflict might mean for the future of Palestine and Israel.
