Full Script
We’re again seeing the scenes of mutilated bodies of children and bodies wrapped in shrouds. After 15 long months of brutal war, again no place is safe for children and their families in Gaza. Families who, this night, were woken up by very loud explosions and heavy bombardments across the Gaza Strip, including here in Almawasi. It is unacceptable, even unimaginable, to once again find ourselves talking about this instead of supporting a path towards meaningful recovery and sustainable peace. We have humanitarian aid still blocked, and I believe that the role of UN is to do everything to convince the parties and to have the international community pressing for three essential aspects. First, for the ceasefire to be fully respected. Second, for humanitarian aid to have access to Gaza in an unimpeded way. And third, for the unconditional release of hostages. And we will not give up on these objectives.
