CAIRO - 28 May 2024: The United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Tor Wennesland, has called on Israeli occupation authorities to halt their raids and military operations in Rafah.
He emphasized the necessity of conducting a comprehensive and transparent investigation into the Israeli airstrikes that targeted displaced persons' tents in Rafah, located in the southern Gaza Strip. These airstrikes tragically resulted in the deaths of dozens of Palestinians, including women and children, and left many others injured.
According to the United Nations News Centre, Wennesland reiterated the call of UN Secretary-General António Guterres for an immediate ceasefire and the unconditional release of all hostages to alleviate the suffering of civilians.
The UN Peace Envoy pointed out that the ongoing events exacerbate the already fragile situation on the ground and pose a risk to the entire region. The UN Secretary-General had previously condemned the Israeli actions that resulted in the deaths of numerous innocent civilians who were seeking refuge from the deadly conflict, stating, "There is no safe place in Gaza."
