Dujarric said the report was issued ahead of the high-level week “to inform the deliberations between member states on the ways to strengthen the UN system,” and that “the secretary general will formally present the report to member states in October after the high level week.”

He noted an evening event at the General Assembly Hall to commemorate the UN at 80, calling it “a living legacy” and relaying the Secretary-General’s expected remarks that “the United Nations lives in every peacekeeper who stands between conflict and calm, in every humanitarian worker who reaches the unreachable, and in every diplomat who chooses dialogue over discord.”

On practical matters for the high-level week, Dujarric said the Secretariat will publish lists of bilaterals the day before they occur and that the UN is coordinating security with the host country, the U.S. Secret Service, the New York Police Department and the State Department. He said interior security at UN Headquarters remains at a high level and the Secretariat expects to hold daily briefings during the week, with the office open on weekend days and back at the podium on Friday unless breaking news requires otherwise.

Dujarric also referenced international observances: World Cleanup Day the following day and the International Day of Peace on Sunday, and summarized the Secretary-General’s message that “peace is everyone's business.”","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","UN80, Occupied Palestinian Territory, Sudan & other topics - Daily Press Briefing | United Nations","oneSentenceSummary","The UN issued a report on reforming how UN entities collaborate and said the Secretary-General will formally present the report to member states in October.

On Sudan, Dujarric said an attack struck a mosque near the Abushu camp in El Fasher, describing reports that “the attack claimed the lives of dozens of civilians who were worshiping there.” He said the Resident Humanitarian Coordinator in Sudan, Denise Brown, called for an investigation and for perpetrators to be held to account. He added that the ongoing siege of El Fasher has cut off food, medicines and other life-saving supplies and reiterated the UN’s call for an immediate cessation of hostilities and unimpeded humanitarian access.

In South Sudan, the UN said widespread flooding has now affected nearly 380,000 people, displacing about 135,000 to higher ground, with the majority of those affected in Jonglei and Unity states. Dujarric said UN partners were distributing food and nutrition support; he noted UNICEF had prepositioned supplies and nutrition teams had reached more than 1,300 children under five.

Dujarric reported that in Haiti heavy rains earlier in the week triggered river overflow in the Northwest Department, affecting “460 families” and flooding about 550 houses. He said roads and a bridge sustained heavy damage, communities were cut off, and local civil protection teams and volunteers were conducting rapid assessments.

A brief update from the Democratic Republic of Congo said UN peacekeepers at a temporary operating base in Komanda near Bunya responded to gunfire, deployed to assess the situation and fired warning shots to deter a threat; Congolese Armed Forces linked the incident to an attempted robbery by members of an armed group, and the situation was reported under control.

Dujarric emphasized that these operations are proceeding amid significant challenges including limited funding, shortages of supplies, and infrastructure damage that restricts access to affected communities.","The UN reported a mosque attack near Abushu camp in El Fasher killed dozens and called for investigation; humanitarian operations continue amid flooding in South Sudan and Haiti, while UN peacekeepers in DRC responded to gunfire and a robbery attempt.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":79,"_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":72,"_73":72,"_74":72},6498400,"UN: Gaza offensive deepens humanitarian crisis; aid deliveries impeded, strikes raise Lebanon concerns",386,102575,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5793100-698c57ab406aca19a47e4ed25849dde9&start=102&end=488","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5793100-698c57ab406aca19a47e4ed25849dde9/thumbnail_102575.jpg","/articles/6498400/UN-Gaza-offensive-deepens-humanitarian-crisis-aid-deliveries-impeded-strikes-raise-Lebanon-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6498400-e6488634718c6bbc22e4f26119897f4b/orig.mp4?Expires=1774812681&Signature=aydOjtMuuThm-4dfc~XRu0t6sAdAp~khgY1XxPRM60DgBKeIJw3RRZK2kTRFtHXSAZUKv6QqfWkL-6cgphBFW0JcwGmAns-NqlYtBcg8fsKnSJ3C-kPc7pirf2Qj6VKOcpxSUtbstC6~P4w87Y3MhRyerpaHZZR79oULyUFAH~hrwXtBlHaiPURmSluGc-DRwEdgzeje~hid4s9F7~0opxaUxfGKFgh0~cHZuGWb6ZLD~dAo~Ib0vI3tu5S2uqOOYR5~oYvrAK4Eg9lorGIQwF~6Q-MBVQHfREWvy3xtx40BEiJAki47uthvgjlQrM-NT47lDH6wTBd8oIWOtfQGrg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General, said Wednesday that an intensified Israeli offensive in Gaza City and related movements of people are creating a severe humanitarian crisis that is outstripping available aid.

Dujarric said the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has reported “people are arriving deep into the night, many of them walking for long hours without food, without water, and without shelter,” and that displacement into southern Gaza is putting “even more stress on already overstretched services.”

The UN spokesperson warned that key routes are congested or unusable. He said Saladin Road, which Israeli authorities had briefly allowed for movement, is now closed after a 48-hour window expired; Al Rashid coastal road remains extremely congested and is effectively the only passage available for civilians fleeing north. He added that Zikim Crossing, the only direct crossing into the north, “remains closed.”

Dujarric said delivery attempts have been repeatedly impeded: he reported a fuel convoy to Gaza City was aborted after waiting “over 5 hours for approval,” and that the volume of supplies currently entering Gaza is “below the threshold necessary to address people's deepening needs.” He added that humanitarian operations require “safe, rapid, unimpeded access” to reach the most vulnerable.

The UN highlighted security risks to aid convoys and reported criminal interference with relief supplies. Dujarric said UNICEF informed the UN that “yesterday, 4 trucks full of ready to eat therapeutic food were stolen at gunpoint at Gaza City,” supplies that the UN said would have helped “at least 2,700 severely and acutely malnourished children.” He said UNICEF had to cancel a mission to pick up supplies for the third day in a row because of the risk of looting on a route that had been cleared by Israeli authorities.

Turning to cross-border hostilities, Dujarric said UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon observed what they described as recent Israeli air strikes inside UNIFIL’s area of operations, and called on the Israeli Defense Forces to refrain from further strikes and to withdraw from Lebanese territory. He said the strikes “put the lives of Lebanese soldiers, the peacekeepers themselves, and civilians in danger,” and that peacekeepers found an unguarded weapons cache and unexploded ordnance while assisting Lebanese authorities.

The spokesperson reiterated calls for restraint by all parties and urged that humanitarian relief be allowed to pass through “all available crossings and routes.” He said the Secretary-General “calls on all actors to exercise maximum restraint and avoid actions that could further inflame tensions.”

The General Assembly on Tuesday adopted a resolution to allow the Palestinian president to participate in the general debate and a related international conference via prerecorded video. Dujarric said questions about visa status should be addressed to the Palestinian delegation or the United States; he did not provide further details on the visa question.

Dujarric also noted a recent Security Council vote on a ceasefire was blocked by a veto, and echoed the Secretary-General’s continuing call for a ceasefire, for humanitarian access, and for the release of hostages.

The UN said further operational constraints — damaged roads, congestion on coastal routes, closed crossings, and theft of supplies — are preventing partners from delivering assistance at scale, and warned that without secure, sustained access relief efforts cannot meet rising needs.","UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said the offensive in Gaza City is producing mass displacement, shortages of food, water and shelter, and that looting and security constraints continue to block deliveries. He also reported UN peacekeeper concerns after recent strikes in southern Lebanon.","actionData","errors"]
