My last message from Gaza. We’ve come a long way in the last 5 months, and I know the road ahead will be rocky & longer. I’m leaving behind a team that’s working around the clock for every father, mother & child I met in Gaza to have a better tomorrow.

The escalation of military activity in and around Rafah by the IDF is further impeding humanitarian access & worsening an already dire situation.
At the same time, Hamas goes on firing rockets indiscriminately.
Civilians must be respected & protected at all times.

We are aware of reports that members of the World Central Kitchen team have been killed in an IDF attack while working to support our humanitarian food delivery efforts in Gaza. This is a tragedy. Humanitarian aid workers and civilians should NEVER be a target. EVER.

What do women carry in a war?
In #Gaza, they carry so many things. Their children, their hopes, their fears.
But most importantly, Palestinian women are carrying Gaza on their shoulders.

This week, I urged the Security Council to press to avert a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza & I reiterated my appeal for a humanitarian ceasefire.
Regrettably, the Security Council failed to do it.
But that does not make it less necessary.
I promise: I will not give up.

It is binding on all parties equally at all times & the obligation to observe it does not depend on reciprocity."
