The Secretary-General condemns the\u00a0death\u00a0of at least 18 people, including children, women, and six UNRWA staff, in Israeli airstrikes that hit a school serving as a shelter in Nuseirat on 11 September. \u00a0This incident raises the number of UNRWA staff killed in this conflict to 220.\u00a0 The IDF stated that they had targeted a command-and-control centre in the compound.\u00a0 This incident must be independently and thoroughly investigated to ensure accountability.<\/p>\n
The continued lack of effective protection for civilians in Gaza is unconscionable. \u00a0Civilians and the infrastructure they rely on must be protected and the essential needs of civilians met. \u00a0The Secretary-General calls upon all parties to refrain from using schools, shelters, or the areas around them for military purposes. \u00a0All parties to the conflict have the obligation to\u00a0comply with international humanitarian law at all times.<\/p>\n
The Secretary-General reiterates his call for\u00a0an immediate\u00a0<\/strong>ceasefire and the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages. \u00a0This horrific violence must stop.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 12 September 2024 Statement attributable to the Spokesperson for the Secretary-General – on Gaza St\u00e9phane Dujarric, Spokesman for the Secretary-General The Secretary-General condemns the\u00a0death\u00a0of at least 18 people, including children, women, and six UNRWA staff, in Israeli airstrikes that hit a school serving as a shelter in Nuseirat on 11 September. \u00a0This incident raises […]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":299,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"country":[],"document-category":[1338],"document-source":[5352],"committee-meeting":[],"document-subject":[1769,1829,2265,2005,1741,1745,6891,6245],"entity":[1729],"document-language":[6542],"class_list":["post-301193","document","type-document","status-publish","hentry","document-category-statement","document-source-secretary-general","document-subject-armed-conflict","document-subject-casualties","document-subject-ceasefire","document-subject-gaza-strip","document-subject-human-rights-and-international-humanitarian-law","document-subject-refugees-and-displaced-persons","document-subject-unrwa","document-subject-violence","entity-united-nations-system","document-language-english"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document\/301193","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/document"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/299"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document\/301193\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":301230,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document\/301193\/revisions\/301230"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=301193"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/country?post=301193"},{"taxonomy":"document-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document-category?post=301193"},{"taxonomy":"document-source","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document-source?post=301193"},{"taxonomy":"committee-meeting","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/committee-meeting?post=301193"},{"taxonomy":"document-subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document-subject?post=301193"},{"taxonomy":"entity","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/entity?post=301193"},{"taxonomy":"document-language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document-language?post=301193"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
