UM Lars Løkke Rasmussen: "Sjældent har FNs Sikkerhedsråd været vigtigere. Og sjældent har det været mere udfordret. Danmark træder i dag ind som medlem af FNs mest magtfulde organ, hvor vi vil fortsætte arbejdet for en friere og sikrere verden. 🇺🇳"
FM Lars Løkke Rasmussen: “DK supports 🇫🇷🇩🇪🇬🇧 statement calling on Israel to immediately end its more than 50-day blockade on Gaza. The blockade of all hum. aid into Gaza goes against intl. law. Israel is obligated to facilitate safe & unhindered hum access into Gaza & protect civilians.”
For more than 10 yrs, 🇩🇰 has hosted UN City Copenhagen, where the global headquarters of UNOPS & 9 other United Nations agencies, 2,000 staff from 100 different countries, operate. Yesterday, UNSG António Guterres visited & thanked everyone for their support to vulnerable people around the world.
FM Lars Løkke Rasmussen: "Important call from us in Europe for Israel to lift the blockade on Gaza immediately. Israel is obliged under international law to ensure that humanitarian aid reaches the population in need.” ec.europa.eu/commission/pre…
Denmark is deeply alarmed by the The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification reporting a high risk of famine in #Gaza. We urge Israel to immediately lift the blockade on Gaza. Humanitarian aid should be distributed in line with humanitarian principles and never be used as a political bargaining chip.
.Elsebeth Søndergaard Krone #Denmark State Secretary for Development: Adaptability, multi-year, flexibility, principles, values-based, gender and climate responsive. Appreciate Denmark’s commitment to multilateralism and global engagement as other partners are in retreat. #EHF2025
FM Lars Løkke Rasmussen: ”Israel has blocked humanitarian aid to Gaza for over two months. The situation is deeply alarming. Israel must ensure full access immediately and allow the UN to save lives in line w/ humanitarian principles. Joint message from Nordics + 🇬🇧🇫🇷🇩🇪🇮🇹🇪🇸🇳🇱🇪🇺 and more.”
FM Lars Løkke Rasmussen: ”The suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths. Israel must immediately allow full humanitarian access. The hostages must be released. The war in Gaza must end now. Statement w/ colleagues from 🇬🇧🇫🇷 and many more.” um.dk/en#/embedded/r…
Grateful to be entrusted with this important task 🙏 and looking very much forward to working with @OCHA, Tom Fletcher and colleagues in the advisory group. Ensuring maximum impact of the CERF as important as ever.
UM Lars Løkke Rasmussen: "Hungersnød i Gaza By er nu blevet bekræftet. Over en halv million mennesker ramt – og flere vil følge. Vi gentager: Israel må åbne for uhindret, sikker og vedvarende adgang for nødhjælp og lade FN og NGO’er arbejde.”
FM Lars Løkke Rasmussen: ”Famine in Gaza City has now been confirmed. Over half a million people are affected – more will follow. We repeat: Israel must allow unimpeded, safe, and sustained access for aid and let UN and NGOs work.”
FM Lars Løkke Rasmussen: ”Broad coalition now behind Danish proposal to treat patients from Gaza at hospitals in the West Bank, incl. East Jerusalem. Important that the international community puts pressure on Israel to give the required permissions.” um.dk/nyheder#/embed…
Thank you The Lutheran World Federation and Bishop Stubkjær for co-hosting today’s lunch at Augusta Victoria Hospital, maintaining international focus on the need to restore medical corridor from Gaza to hospitals in West Bank, incl. East Jerusalem. Hospitals have capacity - we just need access
