The Palestinian Foreign Ministry has described the international failure to protect Palestinians during Ramadan as “an assassination of humanity”.

In a statement posted on X, it said more than two million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip will experience the Muslim holy month of Ramadan with barely any food or access to clean water, as well as the continuing escalation of Israel’s aggression on the coastal enclave.

“The failure of the Security Council to implement Resolution 2720 and its inability to guarantee the entry of humanitarian and medical aid on a constant basis to civilians in the Gaza Strip has no justification,” the statement said.
