He urged the international community to take immediate action to prevent starvation and disease outbreaks among the besieged Palestinian population.

Speaking alongside his Albanian counterpart Igli Hasani in Tirana, Fidan emphasized the critical situation in Gaza, where 2 million residents are effectively "held hostage."

He highlighted the lack of access to basic necessities like food and medicine, stating that it "currently indicates a major disaster inside."

The dire circumstances, Fidan stressed, follow the "loss of thousands of lives" during recent conflict. He further warned of the impending threat of widespread hunger and disease, which could "annihilate" the Palestinian population.

To avert this tragedy, Fidan urged the international community to take "preventive measures" through various channels. He emphasized the need for immediate action to ensure the delivery of essential humanitarian aid and medical supplies to Gaza.

His concerns come amidst ongoing tensions in the region. Fidan emphasized the continued loss of innocent civilian lives, underscoring the urgency of international intervention to alleviate the suffering in Gaza. (ILKHA)
