The Kingdom called on the international community to take all necessary measures to hold the Israeli occupation accountable for its violations of international law and international humanitarian law.
Additionally, the ministry also urged the international community to assume its responsibility with regard to protecting and securing the transit of aid convoys and ensuring their entry into the Gaza Strip, in a way that contributes to mitigate the severe humanitarian crisis there.
