Gaza: Humanitarian Situation

Contribution

International humanitarian law and principles need to be upheld. We are resolute in defending those principles internationally and in the accountability that we expect. We communicate that directly to the Government of Israel and to all other parties, and we will continue to stand up for humanitarian workers and all those who do incredible work. I want to pay tribute to them, because I have met so many over recent weeks. They often put themselves in harm’s way, knowing the risks, and still go out there driven by the pure humanitarian impulse to try to make life better for people who are suffering so much. My tribute today is to them.
