Nobel Laureate Malala Yousafzai has called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and demanded accountability from Israel for its attacks on schools used as shelters for thousands of displaced people.
In her statement, Malala condemned the attacks on Gaza’s schools as horrific and expressed her condolences to the families of those affected. She highlighted the severe impact on humanitarian workers, including the deaths of United Nations volunteers amidst the conflict.
Malala emphasized that schools and humanitarian workers should never be targets in any conflict and stressed the need for Israel to be held accountable for its breaches of international law. She also called for urgent global action to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza.
Since October 7, 2023, Israeli attacks have resulted in the deaths of 41,000 Palestinians and injured 95,000 others, with many describing the situation as genocidal.
