Many words about the war, @UNLazzarini, and you forgot to mention Hamas, the terrorist organization that started this horrific war, and whose members you employ.
Philippe Lazzarini
No words can do justice to the horrors that people in #Gaza are living in since the war began six months ago. The lives of 2 million people were turned upside down, often overnight. Many lost the most precious: their loved ones. Everything is in short supply except for grieving hearts. This war broke all the superlatives with the highest number of children killed, aid workers, journalists and medical teams + unprecedented attacks & destruction of hospitals & @UN buildings in blatant disregard of International Humanitarian Law. All lines - including the red lines - were crossed. This war is made far worse through technologies mis-used by humans to harm other humans; en-mass. It is made worse by the famine born from an Israeli imposed siege, one would think it’s from a different era. As a result, a man-made famine is eating up bodies of babies and young children. Meanwhile, attacks continue against @UNRWA, the largest humanitarian organisation, with the aim to dismantle it & deny the refugee status to millions of Palestinians. Amid political debates and failed diplomacy, between well-polished talking points and statements, the hellhole in #Gaza is deepening by the day. The calls are very clear: -Civilians - wherever they are - must be protected. Every civilian life lost is a tragedy. -All hostages in Gaza must be released. -A ceasefire must be implemented now. -Israel must open more land crossings & lift all restrictions on the work of @UNRWA without further delay. This is now a race against time to restore our humanity.
