By Prensa Latina,
United Nations : Cuban Ambassador Abelardo Moreno expressed on Wednesday before the UN Security Council the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM)”s strong condemnation and concern for the Israeli indiscriminate attacks at Gaza.
Speaking in a debate on the Middle East Situation, including the Palestinian issue, Moreno stressed NAM”s profound disappointment with the Council”s incapacity to fulfill its responsibility to keep international peace and security.
Moreno, the current president of NAM”s Coordinating Bureau, condemned in particular the land invasion launched by Israel in Gaza, in a glaring challenge of the international community”s demands for military activities to cease.
In his opinion, these aggressions also challenge ongoing regional and international diplomatic efforts to solve the crisis.
Moreno expressed the Movement”s deep sorrow for the large number of casualties (more than 570 innocent people killed and more than 2,700 wounded) resulting from Israeli attacks and the enormous destruction of properties and infrastructure in the Gaza Strip.
