Kuwait condemns Israeli attack on Saudi-provided aid in Gaza

The Gulf State of Kuwait, a major backer of humanitarian projects in Gaza, expressed on Friday "strong condemnation and denunciation of the recent aggression launched by the Israeli occupation forces" on civilians sheltering at a school in Gaza City's al-Tuffah neighbourhood, and the destruction of a warehouse containing medical and relief supplies delivered by the Saudi government.

"This is a flagrant violation of international law and all relevant UN resolutions," the Kuwaiti Ministry of Foreign Affairs said. 

"This aggression is evidence of the absence of international accountability mechanisms," the statement continued.

"The [UN] Security Council [must] assume its responsibilities in maintaining international peace and security by putting an end to the tragedy experienced by the brotherly Palestinian people, obligating the occupying power to cease its aggression against the Palestinian territories, and opening the crossings designated for the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip."
