Khan said the situation in the occupied territories could not be ignored and called for Immediate action to be taken to end the catastrophic situation.
He called on the unobstructed passage of relief supplies into the
Gaza strip and said that the detention of civilians as hostages must be in accordance with
international humanitarian law.
Khan also said he hoped to enter Gaza to assess the situation and was dismayed by his inability to enter the territory through the crossing.

He pointed out that Israel is obligated to protect civilians during the war, confirming that any collapse of a school, church, mosque, or hospital is contrary to the law.
Khan highlighted the importance of compliance with the law, whether for Israel or for the Hamas movement.
