The Arab League Calls For Urgent Social And Humanitarian Support For Palestine

Baghdad / NINA /- The Arab League affirmed on Sunday that providing urgent humanitarian and social support to Palestine is no longer an option, but rather an urgent necessity that tops the priorities of joint Arab action.

This came during the 116th session of the Social Committee of the Economic and Social Council, held at the League’s headquarters in Cairo, chaired by Mohamed Gamal Ifa, with the participation of member state delegations and a number of specialized organizations.

The meeting discussed key social issues on the agenda, foremost among them two proposals submitted by the State of Palestine, which focused on the need to provide social care for the most vulnerable groups amid the worsening humanitarian situation caused by Israeli occupation practices.

Participants stressed the importance of formulating clear and practical recommendations to be presented to the Senior Officials’ Meeting and subsequently to the Ministerial Session, in a way that strengthens the role of the Economic and Social Council in supporting Arab social action and advancing it toward broader and more sustainable horizons. /End
