Yesterday, Al Awda Hospital in North #Gaza came under attack, killing 4 people, including 3 doctors, and injuring many patients.
@WHO has documented 178 health attacks since the war began.
All parties to the conflict must ensure the protection of hospitals and medical staff.

More than six weeks of war, lack of electricity, and near-total closure of all border crossings has left 1M children in #Gaza on the brink of a nutrition and public health catastrophe.

Today I briefed the Security Council after my visit to Gaza. I’m haunted by what I saw & heard.
The effects of the violence perpetrated on children is catastrophic. The violence must end! All hostages, especially children, must be released. My remarks▶️ unicef.org/press-releases/un…

#HearTheirVoices: "I want to play w/other children... I just want to go back home." ~School-aged girl, #Gaza
#ECW supports every child's right to the safety & hope of continuing education; esp. in armed conflict. Their learning & mental health depend on it.

“I told my mother that if I lived, I would never, ever be quiet and I would become a peacemaker,” says 87-year old Holocaust survivor Marione Ingram, who has been protesting outside the White House calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. “I have kept that promise.”

"I buried them with my own hands."
Suhail, a lawyer from #Gaza, lost 20 of his close family members. I spoke to him over the phone when I was in Jerusalem last week. He told me their names.
It's been a month since these hostilities started.
Enough is enough.

The way forward is clear:
Humanitarian ceasefire.
Respect for int'l humanitarian law.
Unconditional release of hostages.
Protection of civilians, hospitals, UN facilities, shelters & schools.
Ending use of civilians as human shields.
More humanitarian aid entering Gaza.
NOW.

I am deeply troubled by the rise in antisemitism & anti-Muslim bigotry.
The images of suffering in the Middle East are heart breaking & soul crushing.
But hateful rhetoric and provocative actions must cease.
We must find a way to hold on to our common humanity.

In Gaza there is no time to grieve, only to survive.
The human suffering we have seen unfold is devastating.
We call on the sides to respect their obligations under international humanitarian law and protect civilians from harm.

We are deeply troubled that our humanitarian convoy in Gaza City came under fire today. It was carrying lifesaving medical supplies to health facilities, including Al Quds @PalestineRCS hospital.
Under IHL, humanitarian workers must be protected.

With my entire @UN family, I grieve the loss of so many @UNRWA colleagues.
Amid unimaginable suffering & pain, colleagues in Gaza continue to serve those in need despite serious risk to their own lives.
They have my gratitude, solidarity, and full support.

On Sunday, @UNRWA held a service for the 59 staff who have been killed in Gaza.
The loss of our friends & colleagues is a stark reminder of the immense human suffering that continues to unfold each day.
