The United Nations Security Council approved a resolution to protect humanitarian workers and U.N. personnel from attacks. The resolution asks all fighters to keep them safe according to international law. Switzerland's U.N. Ambassador Pascale Baeriswyl was happy about the support for the resolution. She said it's important to protect those who help people in conflict areas. There are many conflicts worldwide, and attacks on humanitarian workers have increased by over 50% in the last decade. The resolution aims to safeguard U.N. and humanitarian staff in dangerous places like Gaza. It calls on all countries to follow international laws that protect these workers. The International Committee of the Red Cross supports the resolution, saying it reminds everyone to respect and safeguard humanitarian workers. The resolution strongly condemns all violence and threats against these workers. It also urges fighters to be careful in their actions during conflicts and not harm things that civilians need to survive. The resolution also speaks against spreading false information and encouraging violence towards humanitarian workers. The Security Council is determined to take steps to ensure the safety of these workers. The U.N. Secretary-General will suggest ways to prevent attacks and improve the protection of humanitarian and U.N. staff within six months.
