| Special emergency session to discuss conflict and humanitarian crisis in Gaza. |
The meeting was convened after a permanent member country vetoed a draft resolution calling for a ceasefire and humanitarian access to Gaza at the Security Council on June 4.
At the meeting, the President of the General Assembly and most representatives of nearly 90 countries and groups of countries expressed deep concern about the prolonged conflict and humanitarian disaster, and expressed disappointment at the Security Council's continued deadlock in finding solutions and a common voice for the crisis in Gaza.
Many countries condemned the blockade of all humanitarian aid to 2 million Palestinians in Gaza, calling on relevant parties to respect international law and UN resolutions, end fighting, release hostages unconditionally, protect civilians as well as essential civilian facilities, and absolutely not hinder humanitarian relief activities.
Speaking at the meeting, Ambassador Nguyen Hoang Nguyen, Deputy Head of the Permanent Mission of Vietnam to the United Nations, shared the common concerns of the international community; affirmed Vietnam's principled and consistent stance on issues related to Palestine, calling for an immediate and sustainable ceasefire across the entire Gaza Strip.
The Vietnamese representative stressed the urgency of ensuring that humanitarian relief activities for people in Gaza are not hindered or interrupted; highlighted the irreplaceable role of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) in providing essential assistance and services to the Palestinian people.
