President Higgins urges European Union to act urgently as aid restrictions cause widespread starvation in Gaza, with famine confirmed in Gaza City by food security experts.
- On Friday, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification said famine is occurring in Gaza City and could spread further south, while President Michael D Higgins condemned the situation as unsurprising.
- Weeks of warnings from aid groups said restrictions on aid were leading to starvation among Palestinians, coinciding with the IFSPC's finding of famine conditions in Gaza City on Friday.
- Speaking to RTE Radio 1, President Michael D Higgins said `We are at the realm of non-accountability` and called it the most dangerous threat to democracy as he prepares to step down after his role since 2011.
- Higgins urged a reassertion of the General Assembly's role and outlined Chapter Seven as a mechanism for the secretary general to assemble a force guaranteeing humanitarian access recently.
- The Irish president framed the crisis as a broader political failure, describing the ongoing conflict in Gaza as a `tragic period` and warning `You can't use the genocide that is taking place` as a distraction from neglected issues.
