Francesca Albanese, the UN’s special rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories, has said she supports a call for a “diplomatic humanitarian convoy” to break the “genocidal siege” Israel has placed on Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.
“I implore member states, especially the authorities concerned with the passage of the convoy, to respond positively and act swiftly,” she wrote in a post on X.
The convoy, as outlined by nonprofit group Law for Palestine, would see humanitarian aid trucks escorted into Gaza through the Rafah crossing as part of “high-level state missions”.
