Doha, Qatar: Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, HE Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, today received HE Sigrid Kaag, Under-Secretary-General and United Nations Special Coordinator for Humanitarian Affairs and Reconstruction in Gaza, who is currently visiting the country.

During the meeting, the two sides reviewed the close relations between the State of Qatar and the United Nations and ways to support and strengthen them. They also discussed the latest developments in the Gaza Strip, particularly the challenges facing humanitarian action, and ways for the two sides to cooperate to deliver humanitarian aid sustainably and without obstacles to all areas of the Strip.

During the meeting, the Prime Minister stressed the need for the international community to shoulder its responsibilities to address the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza and to firmly confront the starvation policy pursued by the Israeli occupation in its brutal war against the brotherly Palestinian people.
