During the National Famine Commemoration, Mr. Higgins emphasized that starvation is being weaponized in Gaza and urged European nations to act against the humanitarian crisis. He referenced UN Chief Guterres's alarming description of Gaza as a "killing field" and highlighted the blockage of essential aid. Higgins called for the UN General Assembly to take action due to the Security Council's inaction on global famines and pointed out the humanitarian crises in Yemen and Sudan, marking the recurrence of famine as a profound human failure.
"As aid dries up, the floodgates of horror have re-opened... Gaza is a killing field - and civilians are in an endless death loop."
"When the Security Council fails us as it does again and again, in responding to what I have been describing as the current conditions, we must return to the exceptional measures that are available to us that I remember discussing at the time of the Iraq war."
