UNRWA Commissioner-General on Gaza: Grief, suffering, deep and immense pain: the reality for far too many people since 7 October 2023

From Philippe Lazzarini, the UNRWA Commissioner-General as posted on his official X account (previously known as Twitter)

Grief, suffering, deep and immense pain: the reality for far too many people since 7 October 2023.
And in Gaza for two long years, people have known nothing but destruction, displacement, bombardment, fear, death and hunger.
As we mark two years on the beginning of this nightmare, I call once again for:
- The release of all hostages and Palestinian detainees.
- ⁠An immediate ceasefire: the guns must go silent everywhere.
- The unfettered delivery of basic humanitarian supplies - at scale- to Gaza including through UNRWA.
- Accountability and justice to hold all those accountable for atrocities committed on and after 7 October⁠
⁠There is no other way out of this abyss and mayhem.
