Michael Fakhri, a UN expert, has advocated for the deployment of armed UN peacekeepers to protect humanitarian convoys from attacks, highlighting a troubling trend where starvation is weaponized in conflicts like those in Gaza and Sudan. He urges the UN General Assembly to authorize protective measures, citing increasing assaults on aid operations in various regions, including Africa and the Middle East. With the UN Security Council hindered by vetoes, Fakhri warns that without intervention, the ability for humanitarian organizations to deliver aid will dwindle, leading to dire consequences for vulnerable populations.
Fakhri emphasized, 'Without immediate international intervention to protect aid deliveries globally, humanitarian organizations could be forced to stop their operations, pushing us towards a dystopia.'
According to the UN expert, 'In light of the increasing targeting of humanitarian convoys, it's crucial that UN peacekeepers be deployed to accompany these vital aid missions.'
