Philippe Lazzarini, the commissioner general of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, has said, “I run the UN agency for Palestine refugees. History will judge us all if there is no ceasefire in Gaza.”

In an opinion piece in The Guardian, he wrote, “The generations to come will know that we watched this human tragedy unfold over social media and news channels.

“We will not be able to say we did not know. History will ask why the world did not have the courage to act decisively and stop this hell on Earth,” he added.
