Nigeria’s Foreign Minister Yusuf Tuggar, said that “parties of conflict must uphold the fundamental values of human rights and international humanitarian law, prioritizing ensuring the safety and well-being of civilians even in times of conflict.”

He defined the situation in Gaza with the words of “humanitarian diseaster” due to shortages of water, food, medical supplies and fuel.
