The United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East peace process, Nikolai Mladenov, said in a statement that if the current escalation in the Gaza Strip is not immediately contained, the situation could quickly deteriorate with devastating consequences for all sides.
Meladonov expressed his deep concern over the recent escalation in "violence between Gaza and Israel," especially the multiple rockets launched towards the Gaza cover settlements.
"Months and I warn that the humanitarian, security and political crisis in Gaza is risking a devastating conflict that no one wants," he said. The United Nations has cooperated with Egypt and all parties concerned in an unprecedented effort to avoid such a development. "
Added: " Our collective efforts have prevented the situation from exploding so far. If the current escalation is not contained immediately, the situation can deteriorate rapidly with devastating consequences for everyone. "
"We will continue to work hard to ensure the return of Gaza from the brink, address all humanitarian issues, and that Egypt´s efforts to achieve Palestinian internal reconciliation succeed," he continued.
