on the need for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip <\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

We call on all parties to agree to an immediate ceasefire based on the November 2012  ceasefire agreement. We welcome the ongoing efforts by regional partners and in particular  by Egypt to this end. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

We are extremely concerned about the continued escalation of violence in the Gaza Strip and  the deplorable increase in the number of civilian deaths, among them more than 190  children. We reiterate the condemnation of the loss of civilian lives in particular the most  recent deaths of 16 Palestinians seeking shelter in the UNRWA school in Beit Hanoun which  came under fire. We call for an immediate and thorough investigation into this incident. This  is the fourth occasion on which an UNRWA shelter has come under fire. We call on all parties  to respect the inviolability and the integrity of UN premises. These latest events underscore  the importance of establishing humanitarian corridors in Gaza as a matter of urgency.  Civilians who wish to leave conflict zones must be allowed to do so. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Israeli military operations must be proportionate and in line with international humanitarian  law. We reiterate our condemnation of the indiscriminate firing of rockets into Israel by  Hamas and other militant groups.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The recent tragic escalation of hostilities underlines the unsustainable nature of the status  quo in Gaza and the need to address the humanitarian and socio-economic situation there  without further delay.<\/span> <\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n
