- It is critical that effective action is taken to end the suffering of innocent men, women and children in the Israel-Gaza conflict.
- One child is dying every hour and thousands more have been injured or lost their loved ones. Almost 10% of the population of Gaza are in UN run refugee facilities.
- Ki-moon's call for an immediate ceasefire to allow for humanitarian aid has been ignored, meaning that hundreds of thousands of innocent citizens are unable to be provided with food, water and basic medical supplies.
- When appeals for a ceasefire fail, surely it is time to call on global leaders to take decisive action to protect the innocent.
