International Efforts Intensify for Gaza Aid
Sudan Events – Sumaya Sayed
Officials from Western and Arab nations, the United Nations UN and nongovernmental organisations NGOs have been gathering in Paris for a conference on how to provide aid to civilians in Gaza during Israel’s war on the Palestinian enclave.
French President Emmanuel Macron, who has called for a “humanitarian pause” in the war, wants Thursday’s conference to address the besieged Palestinian enclave’s growing needs including food, water, health supplies, electricity and fuel.
Over 50 nations are expected to attend including several European countries, the United States and regional powers like Jordan, Egypt and the Gulf countries, the French presidency said.
The head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, the UN’s top aid official and the president of the International Committee of the Red Cross are expected to provide details about urgent needs in Gaza.
