"Gaza in Extreme Peril: Urgent Requirements to Avoid Catastrophe"

The Principals of the Inter-Agency Standing Committee have issued a statement highlighting the dire situation in Gaza, where tens of thousands of Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed and injured, and over three quarters of the population have been displaced and face severe shortages of basic necessities. They are calling for an immediate ceasefire, protection of civilians and infrastructure, reliable entry points for aid, and support for UNRWA to provide life-saving assistance, urging Israel to fulfill its legal obligation to facilitate aid operations and world leaders to prevent a worsening catastrophe.
