The Secretary-General spoke to the press afterward, and you will have seen what he said on WebtV and we will share those remarks. Yesterday afternoon, the Secretary-General also met with the President of Portugal, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa. They discussed international peace and security issues, including the war in Ukraine and the Middle East. The Secretary-General and the President exchanged views on climate action following COP29 and discussed Portugal’s cooperation with the United Nations. The Secretary-General expressed gratitude for Portugal’s contribution to UN Peacekeeping and for hosting the 10th Global Forum of the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations. Lebanon/Israel In a statement issued last night, the Secretary-General welcomed the announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon. He hopes that this agreement can put an end to the violence, destruction and suffering the people of both countries have been experiencing. The Secretary-General urges the parties to fully respect and swiftly implement all of their commitments made under this agreement. The Secretary-General also urges the parties to undertake immediate steps towards the full implementation of Security Council resolution 1701 (2006). The United Nations Special Coordinator for Lebanon (UNSCOL) and the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) both stand ready to support the implementation of this agreement, in line with their respective mandates. The Special Coordinator, Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, said that it is clear that the status quo ante of implementing only select provisions of Resolution 1701 (2006), while paying lip service to others, will not suffice. Neither side can afford another period of disingenuous implementation under the guise of ostensible calm.   Lebanon The Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Tom Fletcher, said today in a social media post that Lebanon is in the midst of its most devastating humanitarian crisis in a generation and that the ceasefire is our greatest hope for bringing an end to the immense suffering. Our colleagues in the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs note that humanitarian needs in Lebanon remain unprecedented, and that we need swift, safe and unhindered access so that aid can reach those in need. The conflict has devastated lives, with more than 3,800 people killed, 15,800 injured and nearly 900,000 displaced internally, alongside over half a million fleeing across borders, according to the authorities. The devastation of homes, healthcare and livelihoods is staggering. This morning, on the first day of the ceasefire, 11 trucks from the UN Refugee Agency delivered emergency supplies to more than 3,000 people in Baalbek, including blankets, mattresses, winter jackets, plastic sheets, solar lamps and sleeping mats. Since 23 September of this year, UNHCR has delivered more than 330,000 relief items to more than 190,000 people. For its part, UNICEF continues to support children who have been heavily impacted by the conflict and is providing emergency psychological support to thousands of children and caregivers. Since 23 September, UNICEF has reached more than 9,000 children and their caregivers with psychological first aid. Full Highlights: https://www.un.org/sg/en/content/noon...
