Abstract

More than one hundred days since the war between Hamas in Gaza and the soldiers of the Israeli army from the seventh of October 2023 till the date of writing this article, twenty-sixth of January 2024.
According to the official statics of Palestinian Ministry of health and the World Health Organization (WHO) the health sector is one of the most damaged sectors because of bombing all over this period. more than twenty-six thousand people killed and more than sixty-five thousand injured, at least two-thirds of them were women and children. The number of children who were killed reached more than eleven thousand, while the number of women who were killed reached more than seven thousand. In addition, one hundred forty-six of UNRWA workers were killed alongside doctors, journalists, and children.
Unfortunately, despite repeated calls by Security Council and United Nations, a humanitarian ceasefire is still not in place to stop the killing of people in Gaza and enable the safe delivery of food, medicine, water, and shelter.
The right of "Veto" used by the United States of America, resulting in non-entry of humanitarian aids, including medical supplies and services due to continuous pumping and failure to ceasefire.
Finally, the right of "Veto" must be completely abolished, out of respect for the principle of Democracy prevailing in the world, until this is achieved, we believe that the use of the right of "Veto" must be suspended when discussing decisions affecting the humanitarian aspect (including maternal and neonatal health)
