Kais Saied presented photographs of malnourished children in Gaza to US envoy Massad Boulos, calling for an end to the humanitarian crisis.
Tunisian President Kais Saied displayed images of starving children in Gaza to US counterpart
Donald Trump’s senior Africa adviser, Massad Boulos, during their meeting.
Official video footage from the event posted on Tuesday shows Saied urging the international community to address the dire situation facing Palestinians.
Saied expressed that it is essential for 'all of humanity' to respond and end the crimes committed against the Palestinian people.
The Tunisian leader showed several photographs, including one depicting a child crying while eating sand in what he described as 'occupied Palestine.'
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has intensified, with over two million residents enduring 21 months of conflict.
Saied deemed this situation 'absolutely unacceptable' and characterized it as a crime against humanity.
He emphasized the need for collective action to resolve the crisis.
Boulos remained silent during the presentation, occasionally nodding.
According to aid organizations, there is a growing concern over mass starvation spreading across the Gaza Strip.
Additionally, colleagues from these organizations are suffering due to severe shortages of resources.
The head of Gaza's largest hospital reported that 21 children died from malnutrition and starvation within the previous three days.
Israel attributes the limited entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza and accuses Hamas of exploiting civilian suffering by stealing food supplies for personal profit or targeting individuals awaiting aid.
Following his meeting with Saied, Boulos traveled to Tripoli, Libya, as reported by Tunisian media.
