UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Francesca Albanese, indicated that  the United Nations Security Council's resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza is entirely binding and must be implemented.

In a statement issued on Monday,  Albanese said that there has been no clear action regarding the cessation of the Israeli aggression on Gaza and it should be achieved as soon as possible, noting that Security Council resolutions are fully binding and must therefore be enforced.

She also affirmed that "there are many things that must be done" to ensure the flow of aid into Gaza, including the opening of all crossings, adding, "It seems to me that we have not reached this stage yet because a ceasefire has not been declared."

Moreover, the UN official noted that Israel, the occupying power, bears the responsibility of ensuring the delivery of humanitarian aid, but it has not fulfilled these obligations.
