UNHCR chief Filippo Grandi, in a post on his X account, has said that a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza is the only way forward.

“For aid to reach people in need, hostages to be released, more displacement to be avoided and above all the devastating loss of lives to stop a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza is the only way forward,” he said.

“War defies logic and humanity and prepares a future of more hatred, less peace,” he added.
