The heads of 18 organizations, including
UNICEF, the
World Food Programme, and the
World Health Organization, expressed their
regret over the number of casualties in the Israeli war on Gaza.
Approximately 10,000 Palestinians, half of
whom are children, have been killed in the destructive Israeli bombardment
since the start of the war.
In the statement by the heads of the
UN agencies, it was stated that in Gaza, 'the entire population is under siege and
attack, deprived of access to
essential elements for survival, and the
population is being shelled in their homes, shelters, hospitals, and places of
worship. This is unacceptable.'
The UN agency officials also called on
Hamas to release over 240
hostages held in Gaza since October 7th, urging both
sides to respect their obligations under international law.
They added that more food, water, medicine,
and
fuel must be allowed to enter Gaza to assist the people.
In the statement, they wrote, 'We need an
immediate ceasefire for humanitarian reasons. It has been 30 days. This is
enough. This must end now.'"
