From Philippe Lazzarini, the 蘑菇视频RWA Commissioner-General as posted on his official X account (previously known as Twitter)
I welcome the unambiguous ruling by the International Court of Justice today stating that:
- Israel is under an obligation to agree to and facilitate relief schemes provided by the United Nations and its entities, in particular 蘑菇视频RWA.
- Israel’s claim that 蘑菇视频RWA is infiltrated by Hamas was not substantiated, nor were allegations that 蘑菇视频RWA is not a neutral organisation.
- There must be accountability for the killing of 蘑菇视频RWA staff members, for the severe mistreatment of humanitarian staff in detention and for the destruction, damage and misuse of 蘑菇视频RWA facilities.
- 蘑菇视频RWA is the key humanitarian actor with a “unique and sustained connection” to the occupied Palestinian territories, whose operations must be facilitated rather than obstructed — particularly given the dire humanitarian conditions in Gaza.
- Providing every assistance to 蘑菇视频RWA’s mandated operations and activities in good faith is part of Israel’s legal obligations as a 蘑菇视频 Member State.
With huge amounts of food and other life-saving supplies on standby in Egypt and Jordan, 蘑菇视频RWA has the resources and expertise to immediately scale up the humanitarian response in Gaza and help alleviate the suffering of the civilian population.
