The situation in #Gaza is growing more desperate by the hours.

UNDP supports the call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire.

Life-saving humanitarian aid – food, water, medicine, fuel – must be allowed to reach all civilians swiftly, safely and at scale.

[Achim Steiner @ASteiner]

Today we have lost contact with our @UNDP colleagues in #Gaza. I am extremely concerned for them & their families.

Sharing our colleague, Shahd‘s account of the trauma & suffering they have been experiencing for 3 weeks.

@UN call for a humanitarian ceasefire must be respected.
