<\/p>\n

\n

\t<\/span>On 26 February, at its 5846th meeting, the Council was briefed by Robert Serry, United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, on recent developments regarding the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question, and by John Holmes, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, on the worsening humanitarian situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. After the meeting, Council members retired to consultations of the whole to discuss those briefings. Council members exchanged views on the content of the briefings, and in particular expressed concern for the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the daily rocket attacks from Gaza against Israeli civilians. The Council took no action on the matter.<\/p><\/div>\n
