SECURITY COUNCIL LIVE: Israel calls for focus on Gaza hostages’ plight
© UNRWA
Large parts of Gaza have been reduced to rubble amid the ongoing conflict.
The Security Council is meeting to discuss rising concern in Israel and elsewhere over the dire conditions facing the hostages who remain in Gaza. It follows the release of recent videos by Hamas and other Palestinian militants showing emaciated captives, which the UN Secretary-General called “an unacceptable violation of human dignity.” A senior UN political affairs official reiterated the "unbearable" conditions faced by Palestinians across the war-ravaged enclave.
