Each UNSC delay is a missed opportunity to stop the killing of civilians & allow unimpeded access of humanitarian aid to Gaza where 1/2 of the pop is now starving & women are using scrap of cloth because there is no period products.

There is urgency & yet this is the 3rd delay.

CIVIC welcomes the announcement by the Ministerie van Defensie of a new mechanism to directly report civilian harm in armed conflict, whether the Netherlands is acting on its own or in coalitions.

Now the efficacy of the structure will depend on its implementation.

The US is failing to fulfill its commitments in responding appropriately to civilian harm.

Families of civilians killed in US airstrikes in Somalia have yet to receive answers, acknowledgement, and amends despite their sustained efforts to reach authorities over several years.

A new resolution calling for an 'urgent & sustainable cessation of hostilities to allow safe & unhindered humanitarian access” in Gaza is to be voted at the UNSC.

The US should stop using its veto & instead support actions to create a conducive environment to protect civilians.
