From northern Gaza: The United Nations coordinator in Palestine calls for an end to the war

This came during his visit on Sunday to the northern Gaza Strip, where Mr. Hadi – who also holds the position of Humanitarian Affairs Coordinator in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and Deputy Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process – met with a number of representatives of Palestinian civil society and also visited the Holy Family Church in Gaza City.

In a video message from the Latin Church, he said: “It is self-evident that churches, mosques, civilians and all civilian infrastructure must be protected. They can only be protected by ending this war, through a ceasefire.”

While he was surrounded by displaced children in front of the church doors, Muhannad Hadi stressed that the displaced youth in the Strip “deserve to return to their homes,” and added: “These children that you see here are the hope of the future. Without education, and without proper health care, there will be no bright future.” “.

Mr. Hadi said: “We pray for peace. Once again, I am here pleading with this church in Gaza to end this war. For the sake of these children, for the future, but also for a better future for all of us in this region.”
