CFS 51 | André Luzzi, Habitat International

On Friday 27 October 2023, André Luzzi spoke on behalf of the CSIPM to call for this plenary session to not be adjourned and to support the proposal made by the delegation of Egypt, which was in line with the CFS Framework for Action in Protracted Crises. In fact, during the presentation of the draft report for CFS 51, Egypt proposed an addition under Agenda item III, emphasizing the need to avoid using food and water as weapons in conflict areas:
"The Committee stressed the need to refrain from using food and water as weapons of war in conflict areas, expressed the need for reliable, sustained, sufficient and unhindered access of essential goods and services to civilians throughout the Gaza Strip, including but not limited to water, food, medical supplies, and energy, and stressed the role of FAO, IFAD and WFP, in coordination and collaboration with other United Nations agencies, international financial institutions and relevant bodies, to assess and address, within its mandates, the consequences of the conflict and on food security and agriculture in Gaza and in the Occupied Palestinian Territories."
