The deputy envoy reaffirmed India's support for a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine issue.
India has sent 38 tonnes of food and critical medical equipment to the Gaza Strip, reeling under Israel's blistering retaliatory bombings, Ambassador R Ravindra, the Deputy Permanent Representative (DPR) to the United Nations said while representing India at the UN Security Council's open debate on the "situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question".
"India sent 38 tonnes of humanitarian goods, including medicines and equipment, to the people of Palestine. We also urge the parties to work towards creating conditions necessary for peace and for restarting direct negotiations, including through de-escalation and issuing violence," Mr Ravindra said.
"The escalation of our utilities in the region has only exacerbated the dire humanitarian situation," he said, adding, "It has once again underscored the fragile nature of the ceasefire."
