  "account": "New York - Qatar pledged ongoing assistance for Palestinian youth during a high-level ministerial gathering, held concurrently with the 81st United Nations General Assembly session in New York.\n\nH E Maryam bint Ali bin Nasser Al Misnad, Qatar's Minister of State for International Cooperation, articulated support for the \"Call to Action for Palestinian Children in the West Bank and Gaza.\" She underscored the nation's dedication to safeguarding their rights and welfare, emphasizing the call's key action points.\n\nThese points encompass advocating for a swift ceasefire, adherence to international law - both human rights and humanitarian law, and ceasing acts of violence against children. She highlighted the plight of children as the most affected in conflict zones, citing a recent UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs report. This report reveals that with the new school year commencing in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, children still face obstacles to safe education due to displacement, insecurity from airstrikes, facility damage, and movement restrictions.\n\nThe international community must intensify its efforts to hold perpetrators accountable and urgently protect children, she asserted. Qatar's mediation efforts in the Gaza Strip have been driven by the alleviation of children's suffering. The country has focused its humanitarian efforts on the safety and well-being of children and families.\n\nQatar has also signed an agreement with the UN to deliver around 1.3 million liters of fuel to Gaza, aimed at sustaining crucial health services and humanitarian operations. The Minister affirmed Qatar's steadfast commitment to supporting children globally through diverse humanitarian and development initiatives that provide essential services, particularly in conflict-affected regions. She highlighted the crucial role of the Doha-based Analysis and Communication Centre of the UN Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict.",
