Russia urges UNSC to call for urgent ceasefire in West Asia

TEHRAN, Oct. 14 (MNA) – Moscow suggests that the UN Security Council call for an immediate ceasefire in West Asia, according to a Russia-proposed resolution.

The document says that it is possible to ensure a long-term solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict only through peaceful means. Russia called for an immediate and long-term ceasefire that all parties would respect.

A Russia-proposed United Nations Security Resolution made available to TASS calls for an immediate release of hostages.

According to the document, the UN Security Council "strongly condemns all violence and hostilities directed against civilians and all acts of terrorism.".

The document calls "for the unimpeded provision and distribution of humanitarian assistance, including of food, fuel and medical treatment, as well as creating conditions for the safe evacuation of civilians in need.".

Israel started its aggression on Saturday after Palestinian resistance groups launched multi-pronged Operation al-Aqsa Storm, the largest military operation against the illegal entity in decades.

The ongoing Israeli offensive has brought immense suffering to the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip, with the number of casualties, particularly among innocent children and healthcare workers, mounting around the clock.

Gaza's Health Ministry says almost 1,800 people, including 583 children, have been killed and more than 6,380 injured due to Israeli bombardment across the coastal area. A large number of buildings, homes and public facilities have also been badly damaged due to heavy Israeli bombardments.

The military operation by the Palestinians against the occupying regime saw more than 5,000 rockets in retaliatory strikes fired at the occupied territories, which left upwards of 1,300 settlers and troops dead and three times as many injured.
