calls upon the international community to play a role in dealing with the humanitarian emergency faced by the Palestinian people, which is exposed to practices of killing, maiming, blockade and terrorism at the hands of the Israeli forces. This has caused a humanitarian tragedy for the Palestinian people. It has also undermined the Palestine Authority and has obstructed the arrival of humanitarian assistance. Thus, we appeal to the conscience of the world to save the Palestinian economy and institutions, to provide protection for the Palestinian people and to save the peace process in the Middle East.<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:justify;padding-top:11px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;In this context, Egypt would like to express its appreciation to the United Nations and to various international organizations and organs for the efforts they have deployed to assist the Palestinian people, either through the Special Coordinator or through the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). We would also like to express our thanks to donor countries for their financial support and call upon them to increase that support during this critical period, including the response to the appeal made by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:justify;padding-top:11px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">[&#8230;]<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:left;padding-top:11px;font-size:11pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\"><i>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The meeting rose at 6.05 p.m.<\/i><\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:left;padding-top:8px;font-size:8pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">This record contains the text of speeches delivered in English and of the interpretation of speeches delivered in the other languages.
