#Gaza<\/p>\n

Another day.<\/p>\n

Another month.<\/p>\n

Another school hit.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Once again, @UNRWA\u00a0 school hit by the Israeli Forces.<\/p>\n

The school, in the Middle Areas, was home to nearly 2,000 internally displaced, dozens of casualties were reported.<\/p>\n

Since the war began, nine months ago today:<\/p>\n

– More than half (or 190) of @UNRWA<\/p>\n

facilities have been hit, some multiple times, some directly.<\/p>\n

– As a result, 520 people were killed and nearly 1,600 were injured while seeking some safety. Too many were women and children.<\/p>\n

A re-occurring claim (among others)\u00a0 from Israel is that our facilities are being used by Palestinian armed groups.<\/p>\n

These are claims that I take very seriously . It is exactly why I have repeatedly called for independent investigations to ascertain the facts & identify those responsible for attacks on UN premises or their misuse.<\/p>\n

Those responsible must be held accountable for violating international law.<\/p>\n

Nine months on this brutal war, I call once again for a #ceasefire under which people in Gaza and Israel would finally get respite & protection + all hostages would be immediately released.<\/p>\n

The longer this war goes on, the deeper the rift will become, & the more suffering people will endure.<\/p>\n

Enough is enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
