Warning of the hazardous consequences of the Israeli attack on Rafah, he stressed the need to protect civilians in Gaza and ensure a humanitarian aid access to the enclave. He underscored the importance of pressing on support for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), to streamline its humanitarian services in accordance with its UN mandate.
