The seriousness of the situation in the occupied territories calls for maximum vigilance on the part of the Council in order to focus all the machinery existing in the United Nations on safeguarding the populations, whether it be action through the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Wear East (UNRWA) I the United Nations Uevelopnent Programme or, indeed, the Department of Public Information. JSM/td s/Pv.2786 51 (Mr. Slaoui, Morocco) It is our hope, furthermore, that the effective and discreet humanitarian work of the International Committee of the Red Cross (10 will continue and be further strengthened so as to give succour to the victims of repression. Furthermore, the Kingdom of Morocco can only support the Secretary-General's recommendaticn that the intenational community take immediate measures to improve the safety and protection of the Palestinian people. In the light of the tragedy that is the daily lot of the Palestinian people, which is deprived of all resouces and the rrr>st fundamental attributes of human dignity, it is high time for the Security Council to exercise its authority in a lucid and realistic way, jettisoning , as the Secretary-General has suggested, all residue of anger and resentment accumulated over several decades. The indignation of international public opinion at the inhuman treatment which has been inflicted on an innocent and unarmed population is a matter of public record, which means that all eyes are now turned on the Council. What is at stake in this debate is, to no small extent, the credibility of our entire Organization. The PRESIDENT: I thank the representative of Morocco for the kind words at the beginning of his statement. The next speaker is the representative of Egypt. I invite him to take a place at the Council table and to make his statement. 
**Analysis**
The text appears to be a diplomatic speech addressing the situation in the occupied territories, with a focus on the humanitarian crisis and the need for international action to protect the Palestinian population. The speaker references various UN agencies and programs, as well as the International Committee of the Red Cross, which suggests a humanitarian focus. The language used is also emotive and condemnatory, emphasizing the gravity of the situation and the need for immediate action.
