Slovenia is gravely concerned about the decision to completely block humanitarian aid access to Gaza
Slovenia is gravely concerned about the decision to completely block humanitarian aid access to Gaza. This could lead to a humanitarian catastrophe, severely affecting the civilian population already suffering from the conflict. Such actions are in clear violation of international law, particularly international humanitarian law and human rights law.
Slovenia stresses that humanitarian organizations must have safe and unhindered access to the people of Gaza, who are in urgent need of assistance. We also support all diplomatic efforts to achieve a permanent ceasefire, which would enable the release of all hostages and the start of Gaza’s reconstruction.
It is of immense importance to maintain the ceasefire agreement and to honour all three agreed phases. This will enable the alleviation of the suffering of the Palestinian people and the release of all hostages.
On this occasion, we once again call on all parties to respect international law and to act responsibly in order to reduce civilian suffering and work towards a sustainable political solution.
