The scale of suffering witnessed in Gaza this year has shaken many people’s faith in human rights, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) said.

“The rights being denied to people in Gaza are the same rights intended to protect all of us. We all have a stake in Gaza,” the group said in a post on X.

Universal human rights are the best guarantee there is of a world where all individuals can live in dignity, security, equality, and freedom, it added.

“We all have a stake in safeguarding and advancing human rights. We all have a stake in building a future where respect for human rights, dignity, and accountability are not postponed but delivered.”
