UN Under-Secretary-General Melissa Fleming has raised serious concerns over the intensifying humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where hunger, fear, and suffering are reaching intolerable levels. She poignantly noted, "It's just so worrying, and we could help them, but we're not being given access, and that is incredibly frustrating," emphasizing the urgent need for unhindered life-saving aid. 😟
In her exclusive interview with CGTN, Fleming stressed that lasting peace can only be achieved through global cooperation, negotiation, and mediation. Echoing the calls by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres for de-escalation and the resumption of meaningful talks—including efforts to negotiate around Iran's nuclear program—her message is a call to unite in the face of conflict.
Shifting focus to global development, Fleming applauded the efforts of the Chinese mainland, highlighting its rapid transition to renewable energy and unwavering dedication to the Sustainable Development Goals. According to her, the commitment to the UN Charter and the collective aim of reducing inequality through sustainable growth are key strategies for uplifting nations worldwide. 🌱
This dynamic call for peace and development serves as both a critique of current obstacles and an optimistic blueprint for a more collaborative future.
