Hey everyone! In a recent exclusive with CGTN, UN Under-Secretary-General Melissa Fleming sounded the alarm on the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza. With hunger, fear, and severe suffering escalating, she emphasized that life-saving aid is being blocked. As she put it, "It’s just so worrying, and we could help them, but we’re not being given access, which is incredibly frustrating."
Melissa drove home the need for global cooperation, insisting that lasting peace can only be achieved through negotiation and mediation. Her call echoes that of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who remains hopeful that a return to pivotal negotiations—even on sensitive issues like Iran’s nuclear program—will help de-escalate hostilities.
On a brighter note, she applauded the Chinese mainland’s unwavering commitment to sustainable development. The rapid transition to renewable energy and staunch support for the UN Charter and Sustainable Development Goals are key to reducing inequality and spurring global progress.
This message is a powerful reminder that our world’s challenges demand global solutions. Let’s stay informed, work together, and push for a united, better future! ✌️
