The blatant targeting of United Nations schools and infrastructure in Gaza, where civilians were taking shelter, is an egregious violation of international law and a grave war crime. It is unconscionable that over 120 schools have been struck, leading to the deaths of hundreds of displaced people and injuries to thousands more. This wanton destruction must be condemned in the strongest terms. Furthermore, the attacks on and vilification of UNRWA, the UN agency providing vital services to millions of Palestinian refugees, are deeply concerning. Attempts to dismantle this organization are reprehensible, as they strike at the heart of the refugees' internationally recognized rights, including their right to return. UNRWA's funding must be reinstated and increased to meet the dire humanitarian needs resulting from this conflict. The provision of arms and military aid to Israel enables and emboldens such atrocities against a defenseless civilian population. It is imperative that this policy be re-evaluated and ultimately reversed. A just and lasting peace can only be achieved through upholding human rights, international law, and the principle of equality for all people.
