Tegucigalpa, March 19.- The Honduran president, Xiomara Castro, who holds the pro tempore presidency of Celac, urged the UN to open humanitarian corridors in the Gaza Strip, a Palestinian city that today suffers constant attacks from Israel.
In a letter to the Secretary General of the UN, Antonio Guterres, the leader, on behalf of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, advocated that people and international institutions with food, water, medicine and health services for Gaza, can circulate without danger.
In that sense, Castro highlighted the need to guarantee the physical integrity of people in this exercise of elemental humanism.
He added that so far all UN initiatives for an immediate ceasefire have been vetoed by the United States, which prevents stopping the cruel bombing of the coastal enclave.
The daily victims number in the thousands, they are murdered Palestinians, women, children and the elderly who are surrounded in a process that, clearly, leads to the most criminal genocide in the 21st century, he highlighted.
He called to condemn terrorism in any of its forms, while asking to immediately order a ceasefire, in addition to unreservedly recognizing the existence of a Palestinian State with all the prerogatives and obligations of any country in the world.
Mr. Guterres, the nations represented in the organization that you lead cannot fail the people of the world and those who seem committed to arresting us in a global cataclysm must be condemned by the assembly, he said.
The pro tempore president of Celac added that civilization is ceasing to exist and is bowing down to barbarism and genocide.
If ever after the holocaust of the Second World War it was necessary for the UN to behave as a guarantor of the existence of humanity, this is its moment, he stressed. (PL) (Photo: Taken from the Internet)
