I join the statement by Principals of Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) to call for:
- the respect of international humanitarian law

- aid to enter #Gaza safely, swiftly & at scale
- an immediate humanitarian ceasefire

Today we have lost contact with our UN Development colleagues in #Gaza . I am extremely concerned for them & their families.
