Unidentified speaker urges full ceasefire, warns 1.6 million in Gaza face acute food insecurity
An unidentified speaker called for an immediate, fully implemented ceasefire and stepped-up humanitarian access to Gaza, saying about 1.6 million people—more than 75% of the territory’s population—are projected to face extreme levels of acute food insecurity and critical malnutrition risks. "It breaks my heart to see the ongoing scale of human suffering in Gaza," the speaker said.

The speaker detailed civilian hardships, saying families are "enduring the unendurable," children are "forced to sleep in flooded tents," and buildings already battered by bombardment are collapsing under rain and wind, "claiming more civilian lives." The remarks highlighted damage to basic services: "Water and sanitation services, hospitals and bakeries are struggling to recover from destruction, supply shortages, and continued restrictions on what can enter," the speaker said.

The statement also drew attention to restricted access in areas where forces remain deployed. "In more than half of Gaza, where Israeli troops remain deployed, farmland and entire neighborhoods are out of reach," the speaker said, linking security dynamics to obstacles for food production and aid delivery.

Framing the emergency as avoidable, the speaker said the crisis is "born of human decisions" and "can be resolved through human choices if there is the political will to act." The speaker urged that "the perverse and prolonged suffering must end" and that Palestinians need "a horizon of hope." The speech concluded with a demand that "the ceasefire must be implemented in full" and a call to "clear the way to an irreversible path to a 2 state solution."

The remarks did not identify the speaker by name or institutional role in the transcript; the statement appears to be a brief public appeal emphasizing humanitarian relief and a political settlement as linked goals. No formal motion, vote or next procedural step was recorded in the transcript.
