Denmark and Norway condemned Israeli attacks against humanitarian workers in Gaza and expressed concern about recent strikes in Syria.

Christina Markus Lassen, the permanent representative of Denmark to the UN, said they have observed a series of "deeply concerning" developments in Gaza.

"No humanitarian aid has been allowed into Gaza for almost two months due to the complete humanitarian blockade imposed by Israel, cutting 2 million people (off) from basic assistance. Water, electricity and medical supplies are lacking," she said at an open UN Security Council debate on The situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question.

Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al Shaibani denounced ongoing Israeli air strikes on his country, warning that they pose a serious threat to national stability and could enable the return of Iranian-linked militias.

Speaking before a UN Security Council session Tuesday on the Middle East, Shaibani outlined recent achievements of Syria's transitional government formed after the fall of Bashar al Assad's regime on December 8 last year.

"We have formed a transitional government with top national talent and representatives from all segments of Syrian society," he said, adding that it recently won unanimous support from the UN Human Rights Council.

US and British forces conducted a joint military operation in Yemen on Tuesday, according to Britain's Ministry of Defence, which said the operation was against a Houthi military target responsible for making drones like those used to attack shipping.

President Donald Trump ordered the intensification of US strikes on Yemen last month, with his administration saying it will continue assaulting Iran-backed Houthi rebels until they stop attacking Red Sea shipping.

Britain and the US have also previously conducted joint operations and strikes in Yemen.

US forces have struck more than 1,000 targets in Yemen since Washington launched the latest round of its air campaign against the Houthi group in mid-March, the Pentagon has said.

The Houthis began targeting shipping in the Red Sea in late 2023, and the United States started strikes against them starting early the following year.

Since March 15, "USCENTCOM strikes have hit over 1,000 targets, killing Houthi fighters and leaders... and degrading their capabilities," Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement, referring to the military command responsible for the Middle East.

The UN Special Envoy for Yemen, Hans Grundberg, called for accountability for all civilian deaths in Yemen following a US airstrike that killed 68 African migrants at a detention center in Saada province.

The attack on the facility holding irregular migrants also wounded 47 people, Al-Masirah TV channel reported, citing civil defense officials.

"I am deeply alarmed by the airstrike on a detention facility in Saada, which reportedly resulted in dozens of casualties among detained migrants," Grundberg said in a statement.

He added that he takes note of US statements that they are investigating the incident.

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has pushed countries to "take irreversible action towards implementing a two-state solution" between Israel and the Palestinians ahead of an international conference in June.

"I encourage Member States to go beyond affirmations, and to think creatively about the concrete steps they will take to support a viable two-state solution before it is too late," Guterres told a Security Council meeting on Tuesday.

France and Saudi Arabia will co-host the conference at the United Nations in June.

Five civilians, including two children, were killed and several others were injured in an Israeli airstrike on the Al-Mawasi area west of Khan Yunis, in southern Gaza.

WAFA correspondent reported that Israeli fighter aircraft targeted tents of displaced persons in the Al-Mawasi area on Tuesday, leading to the killing of five citizens, including two children aged eight and nine.

United Kingdom and Qatar have jointly called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, where Israel is committing acts of genocide, according to a joint statement released by the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The statement followed the conclusion of the second Qatar-UK Strategic Dialogue 2025, held in the Qatari capital, Doha, and co-chaired by Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani and Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs of the United Kingdom, David Lammy.

Both ministers urged an immediate return to a ceasefire along with the establishment of a serious political horizon for the creation of a Palestinian state.

Amnesty International Secretary-General Agnes Callamard has urged the international community, particularly the European Union, to take immediate action to end Israel's blockade of Gaza and ensure accountability for war crimes and genocide.

In an interview with Anadolu, Callamard criticised Israel for violating a cease-fire agreement weeks ago, saying: "Since then, hundreds of Palestinians have been killed. The United Nations reports that women and children make up the vast majority. We are aware that people are running out of food, water, and medicine."

The World Food Program (WFP), the World Health Organisation (WHO), all of those UN agencies, and humanitarian agencies are raising the alarm, she said, adding: "There is no more food in Gaza. There is no more food in Gaza. So the situation is absolutely terrible."
