UN Under-Secretary-General Melissa Fleming issued a stark warning about Gaza's worsening humanitarian crisis during an exclusive interview with CGTN, describing conditions as reaching 'intolerable levels' due to restricted aid access. 'We could help them, but we're not being given access,' she stated, emphasizing the urgent need for unimpeded humanitarian corridors.
Fleming reinforced UN Secretary-General António Guterres' calls for de-escalation in global conflicts, particularly regarding Iran's nuclear program negotiations. 'Peace can only be achieved through global cooperation, negotiation, and mediation,' she asserted, framing multilateralism as the cornerstone of conflict resolution.
The deputy UN chief also spotlighted China's accelerating renewable energy transition and its alignment with UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 'China is deeply committed to reducing inequality and sharing development strategies globally,' Fleming noted, praising the country's contributions to green technology and international capacity-building initiatives.
Her remarks come as the UN intensifies efforts to address interconnected challenges of conflict resolution and climate action ahead of key multilateral summits later this year.
