Briefing by Carl Skau, Deputy Executive Director, United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), on the protection of civilians in armed conflicts, during the 9560th meeting of the Security Council.

"The fact remains that without safe and greatly expanded access, aid workers cannot mount a relief operation at the scale required to reverse the severe humanitarian crisis now gripping Gaza," Skau said.

"If nothing changes, a famine is imminent in northern Gaza. We must all live up to our responsibilities to ensure it does not happen on our watch," he stated.
