Forty UNexperts have urged the General Assembly to hold an emergency meeting to discuss the situationin Gaza, the aim of which would be to put pressure on Israel against what they call "genocide and intentional famine."

The members recall that on 17 September the deadline set by the same institution for seeking a solution expires.

That is why specialists have pointed out that it is not enough to put an end to the control of humanitarian aid and have stressed the need to declare an immediate ceasefire .

In a statement, UN members have denounced that famine "is deliberately designed and perpetuated by Israel, "a situation that" offends humanity. "

They further emphasize that a State responsible for creating "genocidal conditions" cannot control humanitarian aid, and that inspection must therefore be excluded from Israel's competence.
