TEHRAN, May 15 - The UN Security Council is to convene an emergency meeting on Tuesday a day after the Gaza Strip experienced its deadliest day of violence since 2014.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Kuwait, a non-permanent UNSC member, called for an emergency session of the Council in the wake of the massacre of nearly 60 Palestinians at the hands of Israeli forces on Monday.
Israeli snipers positioned along the fence targeted Palestinians who had gathered near the Gaza fence for the climax of six-week demonstrations coinciding with the inauguration of the US embassy in Jerusalem al-Quds.
Latest reports have put the death toll at 59. Over 2,700 others are said to have sustained injuries.
"We condemned what has happened," Kuwaiti ambassador to the United Nations, Mansour al-Otaibi, said on Monday.
According to diplomats, the meeting is set to begin at 1400 GMT.
