The Secretary-General condemned the loss of lives and injuries of civilians in Gaza who are once again being shot at while seeking food. ”It is unacceptable,” a UN Spokesperson said.
The Deputy Spokesperson Farhan Haq said today (17 Jun) that the Secretary-General continues to call for “an immediate and independent investigation into all such reports and for accountability to be established.”
“The basic needs of the Palestinian population in Gaza are enormous and remain unmet. Israel has clear obligations under international humanitarian law to agree to and facilitate humanitarian relief for all civilians who need it,” Haq said.
He added, “The unimpeded entry of humanitarian assistance at scale must be restored immediately. The UN and all humanitarian actors must be allowed to work in safety and security under conditions of full respect for humanitarian principles.”
“All hostages must be released immediately and unconditionally. The Secretary-General continues to call for an immediate permanent ceasefire,” Haq concluded.
