UN aid chief defends using 'genocide' in Gaza remarks to the Security Council that Israel rejects

The head of humanitarian efforts at the United Nations defended his use of the term "genocide" to describe the situation in Gaza during a Security Council address on May 14, 2025.
Fletcher stated past violations of international law were not called out soon enough and criticized a new U.S.-backed Israeli aid distribution proposal as dehumanizing.
The ongoing 19-month conflict has created a humanitarian crisis affecting 2.3 million Palestinians, with nearly half a million facing starvation and food scarcity.
Fletcher said the Israeli-designed distribution system would displace people, require IDs, and undermine humanitarian principles by shifting control over aid away from the U.N.
The dispute suggests ongoing challenges in ensuring impartial aid delivery amid political and military objectives, risking further harm and displacement in Gaza.
