Saudi Arabia expressed on Friday its deep concern following the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) report and the official declaration of famine in the Gaza Strip.
The Kingdom condemned the "genocide crimes committed by the Israeli forces against defenseless civilians," said a foreign ministry statement.
"The Kingdom affirms that the worsening humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza is a direct result of the absence of deterrence and accountability mechanisms for the repeated crimes committed by the Israeli forces," it added.
"This will remain a stain on the moral standing of the international community, particularly the permanent members of the UN Security Council, unless immediate action is taken to end the famine and stop the genocide and crimes perpetrated by Israel against the brotherly Palestinian people," it said.
