Play Video: Lebanon, Occupied Palestinian Territory & other topics - Daily Press Briefing (3 December 2024)

Noon briefing by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General. Highlights: Lebanon/UNIFIL Lebanon Occupied Palestinian Territory Security Council Ukraine Sudan/Chad South Sudan Financing for Development Persons with Disabilities Senior Personnel Appointment     Briefing today Guest tomorrow Lebanon/UNIFIL Today in Naqoura, in Lebanon, which is the Headquarters of the UN Peacekeeping force [UNIFIL] in South Lebanon, the peacekeepers’ Force Commander, General Aroldo Lázaro met with US Ambassador Lisa Johnson and Major General Jasper Jeffers of the United States army, who will chair the mechanism to support the cessation of hostilities. They discussed efforts to help restore stability and the peacekeepers' support for the mechanism’s work. And just to flag that our Special Coordinator for Lebanon, Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, also met with General Jeffers yesterday in Beirut. Both the peacekeeping force [UNIFIL] and the Special Coordinator bureau [UNSCOL] stand ready to support implementation of the cessation of hostilities, in line with their mandates. We urge all actors to abide by both the letter and the spirit of their commitments under the cessation of hostilities and resolution 1701. Lebanon The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says that we and our partners continue to closely monitor population movements and are rapidly adjusting assistance to address the urgent humanitarian needs across all of Lebanon. OCHA tells us that access to essential services – which includes healthcare, water and education – remains critically limited. We continue to support returnees, displaced people, host communities and of course those who stayed behind. Yesterday, the World Food Programme delivered food and essential supplies to Tyre in South Lebanon Governorate. And we wanted to flag that a group of senior emergency officials from the UN and large international NGOs [non-governmental organizations] – and those UN organizations include OCHA, UNICEF, UNFPA and others – were in Lebanon last week, as part of a regional visit that also took them to Egypt and Jordan. They issued a press release on that last night, which we shared with you. Occupied Palestinian Territory The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs report that yesterday, a new Israeli evacuation order was issued in Khan Younis Governorate, impacting more than 2,000 people. This directive – which is the fourth such evacuation order for this area since July – covers about 3 square kilometres. OCHA stresses once again that repeated evacuation orders – which are now in effect for about 80 per cent of the Gaza Strip – leave civilians exposed to the dangers of hostilities and deprived of access to essential services. For nearly two months, North Gaza governorate has been under a tightening siege, leaving between 65,000 and 75,000 people without regular access to food, water, electricity or reliable health care, as mass casualty incidents continue. Our humanitarian partners report that the entire population of Gaza needs humanitarian assistance, including more than 58,000 people with disabilities who face further challenges in accessing food there. In the South, some people are skipping meals and searching through trash to find food – or resorting to desperate measures, including early marriage or child labour. Despite the catastrophic situation, OCHA warns that humanitarian access continues to be obstructed. In November, out of 578 planned aid movements across Gaza that require coordination with Israeli authorities, 41 per cent were facilitated. More than a third were denied outright, and the rest were either impeded or cancelled due to security and logistical challenges. Once again, OCHA underscores that civilians must be able to receive the humanitarian assistance they need. Whether they move or whether they stay, they must have assistance and they must be protected – and those who flee must be allowed to return as soon as circumstances allow.

Large crowds have clashed with police outside the South Korean National Assembly after the country's president declared emergency martial law in the country in a late night television address. In brief, martial law is a temporary rule by military authorities in a time of emergency, when the civil authorities are deemed unable to function. President Yoon Suk Yeol said martial law is necessary to protect the country from North Korea's communist forces and to eliminate anti-state elements. South Korea’s main opposition party leader Lee Jae-myung has condemned the move, calling it unconstitutional. The move comes as Yoon's People Power Party and the main opposition Democratic Party continue to disagree over next year's budget bill.

Tesla chief executive Elon Musk's record-breaking $56bn (£47bn) pay award will not be reinstated, a judge in Delaware has ruled, despite it being approved by shareholders and directors in the summer. Judge Kathaleen McCormick upheld her previous decision from January, in which she argued that board members were too heavily influenced by Musk. The pay package would have been the largest ever for the boss of a listed company, said Judge McCormick. Responding to the ruling, Musk posted on X: "Shareholders should control company votes, not judges." Tesla has vowed to appeal against the ruling, saying the decision was "wrong".

Syrian rebel fighters have released dramatic footage of the moment they stormed several key landmarks in Aleppo. This was the moment a gunfight broke out at the Aleppo Central Prison in the north of the city. The rebels, led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), took over most of Syria’s second-largest city in a surprise offensive on Saturday. The breakthrough comes years after Syrian regime forces recaptured the prison in 2014, relieving a small garrison of government soldiers who resisted a rebel siege for more than a year.

This time, they entered Syria’s largest city facing little resistance. Syrian government forces responded with airstrikes targeted at rebel reinforcements, killing 20 fighters. In total, it’s estimated more than 300 people have died since the offensive began on Wednesday, and the escalation has created the largest displacement wave that the conflict has seen in six years, with more than 10,000 families believed to have fled.
