Russia supports a call by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres to investigate every death of humanitarian workers in Gaza, said Vasily Nebenzya, the Russian envoy to the UN.

“We demand from Israel strict compliance with the provisions of international humanitarian law, condemn attacks on UN personnel and humanitarian staff working on the ground, and support the call of the secretary-general for an international and independent investigation into all deaths of those who help Palestinians survive,” Nebenzya said at a UN Security Council meeting devoted to the situation in the town of Rafah.
