US EditionUN 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.
