Fifty-one countries, including Turkey, Britain, Spain, Italy, and China, confirmed that the International Atomic Energy Agency can play a role in providing urgent and long-term assistance to the State of Palestine to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.
This was stated in a joint statement regarding the humanitarian situation in Gaza, signed by 51 countries during a meeting of the Agency's Board of Governors in Vienna, and was followed by Turkey's permanent representative to the United Nations Office in Vienna, LAFENT ELAR.
The statement welcomed the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, calling on all parties to adhere to and implement it. It expressed concern over the serious humanitarian situation in the occupied Palestinian territories, especially in Gaza.
The statement noted that the amount of humanitarian aid entering Gaza is "much less" than what was agreed upon under the agreement. It added, "In light of this deteriorating humanitarian situation, we believe that the International Atomic Energy Agency can play an important role in providing urgent and long-term assistance to the State of Palestine to alleviate the humanitarian plight in Gaza."
The statement requested the Agency to contribute to meeting the urgent and long-term needs of the State of Palestine in the fields of nuclear medicine, non-destructive testing, and assessing soil, air, and water contamination.
We believe that the International Atomic Energy Agency can play an important role in providing urgent and long-term assistance to the State of Palestine.
