Israel's assault on the UNRWA school in Nuseirat, which left 13 dead and 70 injured, many of them women and children, is a horrific violation of international law and basic human decency. This massacre of civilians seeking refuge at a UN-designated humanitarian site underscores the dire need for an immediate ceasefire. Funding and arms transfers to Israel must be halted until it complies with international law and respects the fundamental human rights of Palestinians. At the same time, reinstating full funding to UNRWA is crucial to ensure the agency can continue providing essential humanitarian aid and services to Palestinian refugees.
