The commissioner-general of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has said that all of the rules of war are being violated in the Gaza Strip by the occupation state of Israel, the Palestinian Information Centre has reported. The Palestinians in Gaza have been facing Israel’s ongoing genocide for more than 14 months.

“All wars have rules,” said Philippe Lazzarini on social media yesterday. “All of those rules have been broken.”

The UNRWA chief pointed out that attacks on schools and hospitals have been commonplace. “The world must not become numb.”

Civilians across Gaza need a respite, he added, calling for a ceasefire and not wasting any more time.
