Six UN agencies have confirmed that what is happening in the Gaza Strip constitutes "warfare with complete disregard for human life."

This came in a joint statement on Monday by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the World Food Programme (WFP), the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), and the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS).

In a joint statement, the six UN agencies explained that the new Israeli "evacuation orders" have once again displaced hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, and that there is no longer a safe place for people to seek refuge.

The statement added that at least 408 humanitarian workers have lost their lives since October 2023, including 280 UNRWA staff.

The statement continued: "We are witnessing acts of war in Gaza that demonstrate a complete disregard for human life."

The statement called on world leaders to take urgent, decisive, and effective action to ensure the implementation of the principles of international humanitarian law.

The organizations also called for the protection of civilians, the release of prisoners, the provision of aid, and the re-establishment of a ceasefire.

On March 1, the first phase of a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement between Hamas and Israel, which had been in effect since January 19, ended. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu disavowed the start of the second phase.

Since resuming its genocide in Gaza on March 18, 2025, Israel has killed 1,391 Palestinians and injured 3,434 others, most of them children and women, as of Sunday morning, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health.

With full American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, leaving more than 166,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing.
