UNRWA head Philippe Lazzarini says that “horrors continue unabated under the world’s watch”, 15 months into Israel’s onslaught on Gaza.
Since Israel launched its military offensive on October 7, 258 staff from the UN’s agency for Palestinian refugees have been killed, and 650 attacks against UNRWA infrastructure have been recorded. At least 20 UNRWA staff are currently held in Israeli detention centres.
“This cannot become the new standard, and impunity cannot become the new norm,” Lazzarini said.
He also reiterated his call for a ceasefire in Gaza.
