Kuwait UN envoy warns of conflict-driven civilian hunger
In a statement before the United Nations Security Council, the State of Kuwait confirmed that food insecurity related to conflicts is not only a humanitarian issue but also a direct threat to international peace and security. Ambassador Tariq Al-Bunai explained that the passage of eight years since the adoption of Resolution 2417 underscores the need to implement international commitments and to transform early warning mechanisms into tools for preventing famine before crises escalate. He also condemned the Israeli occupation for using the starvation of civilians as a method of warfare, noting that the Gaza blockade has led to partial famines. He warned that conflicts in the Arab region impact global supply chains, especially as Iran continues to close the Strait of Hormuz, threatening both energy and food security. He pointed out that increasing famines place the international community in a position of responsibility to ensure the implementation of international resolutions, warning that the ongoing deterioration of food security amplifies the risks of extremism and violence and hampers the stability of states and societies.
