UNRWA Commissioner-General on Gaza: A ceasefire in name only

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

A ceasefire in name only.

Another dark day with 30 people reportedly killed only today.
Nearly 500 people have been killed since the ceasefire has been in place, among them more than 100 children according to UNICEF.
A ceasefire means guns fall silent and give way to efforts to end the war.
Enough. People in Gaza deserve a genuine ceasefire - a much overdue ceasefire.
