MIDDLE EAST LIVE 12 March: Shipping attacks, rising oil prices and widening humanitarian crisis



As the conflict in the Middle East continues to ripple across the region, the UN Security Council met today to discuss the escalating situation, with a morning briefing focused on Lebanon and a second session later on the wider crisis – adopting a Bahrain-led resolution, while a Russian-led text failed to secure enough votes. Across the UN system, agencies are warning of mounting humanitarian needs as displacement rises, services come under strain and regional instability disrupts mobility, trade and aid operations. Stay with us as we bring you the latest developments, reactions and updates from UN Headquarters and across the region. UN News app users can follow the coverage here.
