The United Nations Spokesperson said the right of every country to control borders must be exercised in ways that respect people’s human dignity and rights.

“We have obviously seen the news. I think as we’ve said before, it is the right of every country to decide how to control its borders, and who they allow in,” the spokesperson said, adding that migration “needs to be managed properly in a way that respects the human dignity, the rights of those people who are moving.”

On whether UN staff would be affected, the spokesperson said the UN understood from the executive order that diplomats and G‑4 visa holders — UN staff — are exempt. The briefing noted that host countries of UN headquarters have treaty‑based responsibilities to facilitate travel for UN personnel and delegates.

Ending: The UN reiterated its longstanding position that migration should be managed in ways that respect human dignity and emphasized the organization’s expectation that host‑country agreements and treaty obligations for UN travel facilitation will be respected.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","World Oceans Day, Palestine, Ukraine & other topics - Daily Press Briefing (5 June 2025)","oneSentenceSummary","Asked about recent US travel restrictions, the United Nations said countries have the right to control borders but urged systems that respect human dignity; it also said diplomats and G‑4 visa holders appear to be exempt in the executive order.","taxTitle","United Nations, International","taxId",77382,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":56,"_72":56,"_73":56},6641696,"UN reports civilian casualties and heavy infrastructure damage in Ukraine; agriculture losses exceed $83 billion",84,543000,627000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3680022-a513a21c5b701604862277425aa882c2&start=543&end=627","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3680022-a513a21c5b701604862277425aa882c2/thumbnail_543000.jpg","/articles/6641696/UN-reports-civilian-casualties-and-heavy-infrastructure-damage-in-Ukraine-agriculture-losses-exceed-83-billion","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6641696-481fae29ecd09759dead6562a671729a/orig.mp4?Expires=1773609938&Signature=ErcpK3t1Wh4k92Wy28ln9oYECUYMLJ2mgdrJsdbTbceO2RBW8pbp2M4cT1-By-RvYPdgNbo1iyxkPefxxMnfag1g96shQHS0ENzAHZLx-hlCxYo-SrtL0lVa3At7VxcF-6b5UmH2eCjA69yBCyjITeltS02jZySDww7QI-F5IYle-Hn85-pAw7Yu2k5pxwSxn~Z7s7jMvi4Z-8FUOCp88npbDiIaq5SE-7D32qiORQF2Rm-DHhFvXWPD0JACD0bvWaymUehOeOsPSrHsvcBLf6voSOgMcPjmMbAVobdoyEPsK-t81rsJycf2mFo4xFC6tQxzCwbteM9j3UEu6Sve8Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The United Nations Spokesperson reported that recent attacks across Ukraine killed and injured civilians and damaged homes, schools and hospitals in multiple regions, while relief partners provided evacuations and emergency aid.

“Attacks across the country, which started last night or continued this morning, have killed and injured civilians,” the spokesperson said, citing local authorities’ reports of more than 45 civilian casualties and damage in Chernihiv, Donetsk, Kharkiv, Kherson and Sumy regions.

The briefing highlighted specific incidents: in the Chernihiv region an attack in a locality the spokesperson named as Purikki reportedly killed five people; in Kharkiv at least 19 people were injured and multiple residential buildings, a kindergarten and a store were damaged. The spokesperson said more than 500 civilians were evacuated from frontline areas in the past 24 hours in Donetsk and Sumy regions.

UN and humanitarian partners are providing immediate assistance including construction material, hygiene kits, emergency shelters and psychosocial support, the briefing said.

On agriculture, the spokesperson cited a UN estimate that the sector has suffered more than $83,000,000,000 in damages and losses since the wars started and noted that thousands of families still lack basic tools and services to protect their livelihoods. The Food and Agriculture Organization has supported some 250,000 rural families in Ukraine with seeds, animal feed and cash vouchers since 2022, the spokesperson added.

Ending: The UN said it will continue to supply emergency support to affected regions and that humanitarian colleagues will brief further details, including planned assistance led by UN technical agencies and partners.","The United Nations said overnight attacks in Ukraine killed and injured civilians across multiple regions, damaged homes and public infrastructure, and that the agricultural sector has suffered more than $83 billion in losses since the war began.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":56,"_72":56,"_73":56},6641701,"UN to press for ratification of BBNJ and a global plastics treaty at Ocean Conference in Nice",94,77000,171000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3680022-a513a21c5b701604862277425aa882c2&start=77&end=171","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3680022-a513a21c5b701604862277425aa882c2/thumbnail_77000.jpg","/articles/6641701/UN-to-press-for-ratification-of-BBNJ-and-a-global-plastics-treaty-at-Ocean-Conference-in-Nice","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6641701-daf0bd64a42b5e09ea3d13b9b4140f93/orig.mp4?Expires=1773609938&Signature=eS2ybvwsc274UR1nqBABtCRLbFpagAOnEBx3QZClURuC32BnPC9Pioa9j~Gg-zoX1DPgU64MA2DGqxMO4iIbwfiBVPCFRm-M2lZV476kdZbW2uLlYm9hiOMm4cXagCjrXJ8RFH58b~78bXZ~nAU3U8wK4jCdeyrQXKhV8Y3PdWEVOGAXMlpMVjanPvvwbhgmtm~UBPINDF7k8X~h9birfQNeYXkk3PTImJHsftw6J0KazX3wHOTSo3854rBLduzubrDsdVgSmVrqe0lTwGZJoPuHlJ6I7JEqwGriZdr3bMqReDsUtw7p8vV1ofwVy7c5Ll3FvzeD9liW0q6VBWwhtg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The United Nations Spokesperson announced that Secretary‑General António Guterres will attend the third UN Ocean Conference in Nice, France, and will call for faster ratification of the treaty on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ) and for an ambitious, legally binding plastics treaty this year.

“[The secretary‑general] will recall the progress achieved since the last ocean conference in Lisbon and call for investments to fully realize a sustainable development goal number 14, which is life below water,” the spokesperson said.

The briefing noted that the BBNJ treaty would enter into force 120 days after the sixtieth ratification. To facilitate deposit of ratifications, the UN Department of Legal Affairs will host a treaty event during the conference where member states who have not yet ratified may formally deposit instruments.

The spokesperson said the secretary‑general will also use the trip to hold bilateral meetings with the conference co‑hosts and with the presidents of France and Costa Rica, and will conclude his program in Nice with a press encounter available on UN WebTV.

Ending: The UN framed the Nice conference as an opportunity to accelerate multilateral action on marine biodiversity and plastic pollution, while underlining the need for investment and legally binding agreements to implement SDG 14.","The United Nations said Secretary‑General António Guterres will attend the third UN Ocean Conference in Nice to urge countries to ratify the marine biodiversity treaty (BBNJ) and to seek a legally binding plastics pollution agreement this year.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":56,"_72":56,"_73":56},6641706,"UN warns Gaza aid remains a trickle after weeks of restrictions; dozens displaced and health facilities hit",218,283000,501000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3680022-a513a21c5b701604862277425aa882c2&start=283&end=501","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3680022-a513a21c5b701604862277425aa882c2/thumbnail_283000.jpg","/articles/6641706/UN-warns-Gaza-aid-remains-a-trickle-after-weeks-of-restrictions-dozens-displaced-and-health-facilities-hit","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6641706-018cac33fc6b2ad46ffa3881b023e5ed/orig.mp4?Expires=1773609938&Signature=A-pgakPLvQz~LeQpK-nYEFCVTlQcAPD693NhCz7lws5S1lB6BMf2HxHLFMql7rJU2T7748POnBJ2xanE6XAfaSlTfTs41hNaeni8eFKKRGByZ4yKubQYnAi2GfWx0~ekQsehXyc9XZ~c2jcxhKIiEGi4IZDU4fylU5x5KmyuvNLXJX1wzZ0SasfutjeOnWZYm0vjSPQtg9ZcWHdtDNp0Tsq83vNjHrFPzXIdMGgXD81NzoiMo2w4OFZAO8B7ogrvo0Qi95rHy1fn5xeCxd-6~TFe9G9sZb67rv27ay5dKjQ6BDaxVcg0XQMlt0mKDUwaxnUZqWqtkXOnaX41fPFauA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The United Nations Spokesperson said humanitarian access to Gaza remains severely restricted after weeks of blockades, with only a small amount of supplies entering through the Kerem Shalom crossing and partners reporting a sharp fall in food distribution.

The spokesperson warned that “after 80 full days of blockade on the entry of aid and any other supplies, people in Gaza are starving,” and said the UN had sent “just over 20 truckloads of supplies” — mostly food and some health supplies — to the Israeli side of Kerem Shalom.

The situation has forced aid organizations to scale back operations. UN partners told the briefing that 14 organizations delivered just over a quarter of a million meals this week — far below the roughly 1 million daily meals being distributed in April — and that half of community kitchens in Gaza have stopped cooking because of lack of supplies or displacement orders.

The spokesperson said partners report more than 90% of families in Gaza lack the cash needed to buy remaining food in markets, and that eggs, meat, dairy, vegetables and fruit have largely disappeared from stalls.

UN officials also described repeated displacement orders. The spokesman said that since renewed hostilities in March, Israeli forces issued 35 displacement orders, forcing more than 640,000 people to flee. The order covering one area represents roughly one‑third of the Gaza Strip, the spokesperson said.

Health facilities remain under threat. The briefing said the deputy humanitarian coordinator, Susanna Tkalitz, visited Al‑Hali hospital only hours after an attack; hospital management reported four people killed, including three journalists. The spokesperson said assessments show attacks continue to affect hospitals and other civilian infrastructure.

The UN reiterated calls for all crossings to be opened without impediment and for unimpeded access for humanitarian organizations to deliver aid at scale to all areas in need.

The briefing noted that some coordination attempts for humanitarian movements had been denied: of 16 coordination requests reported this week, five were rejected, six were not accomplished because of impediments or cancellation for security or logistical reasons, and five were facilitated and carried out. The spokesperson stressed that none of the completed movements involved delivery of the supplies that are most urgently needed.

Ending: UN staff at the briefing said the organization and its partners will continue to press for expanded access and to provide where possible emergency food, health and shelter support, while warning that needs on the ground are rapidly exceeding available supplies.","A United Nations spokesperson said limited aid is entering Gaza after weeks of restrictions, with partners reporting a steep drop in daily meals distributed, repeated displacement orders and attacks on health facilities that killed at least four people at Al‑Hali hospital.","actionData","errors"]
