Lazzarini: Nothing can justify major attacks
New York, August 27 (Hibya) – Philippe Lazzarini, Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), said that nothing can justify these major attacks on the lives and identity of Palestinians.
Lazzarini stressed that there is no safe place in Gaza, stating: “No one is safe. Nearly 700 days have passed, and while the Israeli army intensifies and expands its operations, people continue to be killed and injured.”
He noted that hospitals, schools, shelters, and people’s homes are being bombed daily, and added:
“Health workers, journalists, and humanitarian workers have been killed on a scale unseen in recent conflicts. And as if that were not enough, hunger threatens everyone in Gaza with a slow and silent death, or death while desperately searching for food. All this is happening with impunity; recent atrocities are described as ‘accidents,’ and famine continues to be denied.”
Lazzarini emphasized that nothing can justify these major attacks on the lives and identity of Palestinians, saying: “Anger is not enough. It is time for action, courage, and political will to end this hell on earth.”
