Civilians -wherever they are- must be protected.

The life of all civilians, the integrity of all @UN facilities and premises, as well as civilian infrastructures, must be shielded from harm and protected at all times under international humanitarian law.

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

Let me be clear: protecting civilians in times of conflict is not an aspiration or an ideal; it is an obligation and a commitment to our shared humanity.

Civilians -wherever they are- must be protected.

Humanitarian organizations must urgently be given safe & unhindered access to provide life-saving help. #NotATarget

[UNICEF @UNICEF]

The delivery of aid is a matter of life or death for children in Gaza.

Water, food, medicine, fuel and other essentials are all running out.

UNICEF has sent crucial supplies to Egypt near the crossing to Gaza but we need an immediate humanitarian pause and urgent access.
