The main UN agencies issued a joint declaration this Wednesday with ten requirements “to avoid an even worse catastrophe in Gaza.”
The organizations noted, “In less than five months since the brutal attacks of October 7 and the escalation that followed, thousands of Palestinians (mostly women and children) have been killed and injured in the Gaza Strip.”

On the other hand, he highlighted how the city of Rafah, where more than one million displaced people are concentrated, “has become another battlefield of this brutal conflict.”
“A new surge of violence in this densely populated area will lead to massive casualties. He highlighted, “This could also be a fatal blow to the humanitarian response which is already on its knees.”
