H.H. Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Minister of Foreign Affairs, has met with Hussein Al-Sheikh, Secretary General of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organisation, in Abu Dhabi to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza due to the escalating conflict.

The meeting focused on the ongoing international efforts aimed at reaching an immediate ceasefire, and protecting the civilians, with the two sides underscoring the critical need for a regular and reliable flow of essential supplies to the people of Gaza, to address their immediate needs and improve their living conditions.

The UAE top diplomat stressed that extremism, tension, and escalating violence have led the region to an unprecedented state of instability. He pointed out the importance of all regional and international efforts converging to reach a sustainable ceasefire and focus on enhancing the humanitarian response to the needs of the people of Gaza.

Sheikh Abdullah also underscored the urgent importance of prioritising negotiations towards a framework for a two-state peace deal conducive to establishing sustainable security and stability in the region, and curbing the growing instability and violence fueled by extremism.

He also affirmed the UAE’s unwavering commitment to supporting the Palestinian people, and working actively with the international community to end the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, the West Bank, and Jerusalem.

 Meanwhile, the UN has expressed concern over the Israeli order for the evacuation of civilians in southern Gaza.

The Israeli military on Wednesday designated a new area covering about 20 per cent of central and south of Khan Younis city for immediate evacuation. Prior to the onset of the hostilities, the area was home to about 111,000 people. The area also includes 32 shelters that accommodated more than 141,000 displaced men, women and children, the vast majority of whom were previously displaced from northern Gaza, said Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, on Thursday.

He quoted the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs as saying that access to evacuation information on Khan Younis and other key information is impaired by interruptions in telecommunications and the lack of electricity. Telecommunications are still down in most of Gaza for the eighth day in a row.

Dujarric stressed that no area in Gaza is safe, Xinhua news agency reported.
