STORY: OHCHR / GAZA AIR STRIKES
TRT: 01:18
SOURCE: OHCHR
RESTRICTIONS: NONE
LANGUAGE: ENGLISH / NATS
DATELINE: 29 OCTOBER 2025, GENEVA, SWITZERLAND
1. Various shots, Palais Wilson (UN Human Rights Office Headquarters)
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Ravina Shamdasani, Spokesperson for the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR):
“Reports that over 100 Palestinians were killed overnight, most of them children and women, in a wave of Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza strip are appalling. The laws of war are very clear on the paramount importance of protecting civilians and civilian infrastructure.
Israel must comply with its continuing obligations under international humanitarian law and is accountable for violations.
It is distressing that these killings occurred just as the long-suffering population of Gaza started to feel there was hope that the unrelenting barrage of violence may be at an end. All parties to the conflict must act in good faith to implement the ceasefire and we call on States, with influence, to do all in their power to ensure compliance.
The past two years have brought untold suffering and misery, and the near wholesale destruction of Gaza. We must not allow this opportunity for peace and a path towards a more just and sustainable future to slip from our grasp.”
