Speaking at the UNSC meeting on the situation in the Middle East, Espen Barth Eide, Norwegian FM, call for a “sustained and enduring humanitarian ceasefire” in Gaza.
Regarding humanitarian efforts, the Norwegian foreign minister said, “We cannot only count trucks.”
“We call for a radical step-up of humanitarian efforts, not only volumes,” he said. “We also must look at the content, the efficiency, the access [of humanitarian aid] throughout the whole territory of Gaza. And we must improve coordination.”
Eide also called for a “political track” towards Palestinian statehood.
“Norway recognises the inalienable right of the Palestinian people to have their own state. Not only in theory, but also in practice,” he said.
