UN deputy special coordinator for Lebanon, resident coordinator for the Middle Eastern country and humanitarian coordinator – says that “while the world is failing civilians in conflict and many around the world are losing hope in humanity, our mantra has been and remains: Even wars have rules, civilians are not a target.”
Riza, who made his comments to mark World Humanitarian Day, said he visited Hebarieh in southern Lebanon, where seven paramedics were killed when the Israeli army struck a centre belonging to the Lebanese Ambulance Association at the end of March.
Riza said he visited families and displaced people in the village “who have been uncertain about their future for more than 10 months”.
“Humanitarians are not a target,” he said in a post on X.
