The Foreign Ministers of Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, and Qatar expressed their profound concern regarding the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip. This crisis has been further exacerbated by harsh and volatile weather conditions, including torrential rains and severe storms. These factors have also heightened the risk of disease outbreaks, especially among children, women, the elderly, and those with underlying medical conditions. Furthermore, they reaffirmed their full support for Security Council Resolution 2803 and the comprehensive plan presented by US President Donald Trump. The Ministers further demanded the immediate, full, and unhindered delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip through the United Nations and its agencies, without interference from any party.
