Saudis saddened by civilian deaths but also angry at global failure to help Gazans, says UN envoy
NEW YORK CITY: Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the UN on Friday said not only is his country “saddened by the death of civilians but also we are angry and disappointed at the international community’s failure to assist even with medicine, food and shelter.” Abdulaziz Alwasil was speaking during a briefing by senior UN humanitarian officials, in which the organization’s emergency relief coordinator, Martin Griffiths, described what is unfolding in Israel and Gaza as a stain on collective human conscience.
