her rare sunak heroic efforts of a civilian nearby that this did not become a massacre on an unimaginable scale. while we confront terrorists on the ground hezbollah launched 320 missiles on young people. the holiest day for the jewish people. hitting a nursing home in central israel. today we're discussing the humanitarian situation in gaza while israeli civilians are being targeted daily by those who seek our destruction. the council has managed to convene just a single session at a hostages in 376 days a small adjuster considering the staggering loss we continue to endure. still so many council members barely mention the hostages as an afterthought if at all. rachel

spoke of the conditions they found her son along with five other hostages who were executed by hamas with bullets to the back of their head. she revealed that "he had bullet wounds in his shoulder, neck and back of the head. he was found collapsed on his knees with 24—year—old hostage leaning on his lap.

murderous terrace in gaza you are sorely mistaken. only days ago our forces discovered an arsenal of weapons and explosives inside a clinic. cloaked in the blue flag of the un. terrorists have seized this facility, using it as a weapons store and a launch site. how many times have we warned of guises infiltration by hamas? how many months have passed since we provided a list of hundreds of names of hamas terrorists employed by monroe? colleagues, while we confront the ongoing threat in gaza along with a six onto france from which we're continually attacked, our humanitarian effort remains as comprehensive as ever. just days ago we successfully transitioned staff

for hospital to another facility in coordination with the red cross and un. in recent days we have fuel to hospitals who facilitated 800 blood transfusions for the 14 field hospitals have been established in gaza. and 30,000 tonnes of medicines and supplies have entered. as always we acted in accordance to international law, going above and beyond our obligations. we remain committed to facilitating humanitarian aid, especially in the medicalfield, despite hamas is an effort to embed themselves among medical staff and patients. i encourage you to look online, you can see the video where hamas actually disguise himself to be un employees with a view can see them putting the best, helmets.

only 72 hours ago the second polio vaccination campaign in collaboration with who. on the second stage more than 92,000 children under the age of ten or vaccinated, while a further 76,000 received vitamin supplements. these numbers are in addition to the more than half a million who were vaccinated in the first campaign across gaza. in additional to the more than i million tonnes of aid delivered into gaza of which 700,000 is food aid. on october 14 alone over 108 trucks food aid. on october 1a alone over 108 trucks entered gaza, all the while 530 trucks filled with aid and awaiting collection inside gaza. pay

attention to that. the problem is not only on our side, 500 trucks are now waiting inside gaza. they have issues to be addressed. council israel has flooded gaza with as much aid as possible. he and eight trucks continue to enter gaza and we appreciate our international partners for their assistance. with hundreds of aid trucks to be distributed inside gaza while others are hijacked and diverted by hamas. this session has entirely missed the real issue at hand. the issue in gaza is not a lack of aid emma the issue in gaza is not a lack ofaid emma more the issue in gaza is not a lack of aid emma more than enough aid has been entered to sustain every civilian in gaza with over1 million tonnes delivered since the war began. yet the challenges continue. yes, we admit that. it's not due to

israel's efforts or failure to deliver humanitarian assistance, the real issue is hamas. this terrorist organisation has hijacked the aid, seizing it for their own purposes. they still and sell the aid that is intended for gaza civilians. turning humanitarian relief into a profit machine. instead of feeding the hungry or caring for the sick hamas uses the supplies to feed their terror machine. hamas's expectation of goodwill is not new but the scale of their corruption and violence against their own people is staggering. aid that should be in the hands of families in need is instead being funnelled into the pockets of terrorists, with supplies either stolen in secret caches or sold on the black market to enrich their leaders. the terrors of

civilians they claim to defend. sustaining terrorist activities while leaving the people of gaza to fend for themselves. israel along with our international partners continue to flood gaza with aid. but it will never reach all of those in need as long as hamas remains in power. hamas has weapon eyes the humanitarian situation, exploiting every opportunity to strengthen their own while their own people suffer. this makes it incredibly difficult to ensure that the aid reaches its intended recipients. i know you spoke about israel but you can speak maybe after the consultation about the challenges, what happened to the trucks after they entered gaza for the wasn't trying to reach the destination, the storage areas. israel remains

committed to working with partners to deliver humanitarian assistance, even under these dangers and more of bully reprehensible conditions. as i said before, if it is far easier to criticise the democratic nation defending itself then to hold the terrors accountable. but what is easy it is right for the hamas moves, hides in humanitarian zones and uses civilians as human shields. madam president, i envision a future gaza for the one where aid reaches those it is intended for for that where humanitarian agencies are not run for terrors. and the people of gaza can live without fear of hamas. i know that many council members share this vision but it cannot be realised with hamas in power. we will not wait for another october seven, we will not wait while they plot our

destruction, we will act with the principles and morals that guide our nation. i thank you, madam president.— madam president. that was israel's representative - madam president. that was l israel's representative saying they were committed to facilitating humanitarian aid, saying israel had flooded gaza with as much aids as possible, 1 million tonnes. he said the real issue was hamas, not israel's fault, must have hijacked the aid. earlier the us envoy telling the council that washington has made it clear israel must do everything possible to avoid civilian casualties she also warned those who cannot heed israel in northern gaza should not be treated as competence. collie, we remain _ treated as competence. collie, we remain gravelly _ treated as competence. collie, we remain gravelly concerned. treated as competence. collie, i we remain gravelly concerned by the monitoring the implementation of these orders closely. furthermore, all parties must abide by
