​Excellency,

Another reminder: One million Israeli civilians are living under constant rocket fire from the Gaza Strip.

• Since my last letter four days ago, 87 more rockets were fired into Israeli communities.
• We see the same reality, month after month: as aid flows into Gaza, rockets fly out.
• The Security Council has not uttered a single syllable about this appalling terrorism.

Caution: The Security Council’s decision to stay mute could have grave consequences.

Inaction today could help ignite an escalation of conflict tomorrow.

I wish to inform you that an identical letter has been sent to H.E. Mr. Li Baodong, President of the Security Council.
