Agreement to finally secure ceasefire in Gaza, release hostages
Philippe Lazzarini, UNRWA Commissioner-General
09 October 2025 - From Philippe Lazzarini, the UNRWA Commissioner-General as posted on his official X account (previously known as Twitter)
The agreement to finally secure a ceasefire in Gaza and release the hostages is a huge relief.
It will bring respite to people who survived the worst bombardment, displacement, loss and grief for two long years.
After their excruciating ordeal, hostages and Palestinian detainees will finally join their families.
UNRWA has food, medicines and other basic supplies ready to go to Gaza. We have enough to provide food for the entire population for the coming three months.
Our teams in Gaza are crucial for the implementation of this agreement including to provide basic services like healthcare and education.
There are over 660,000 children who are eagerly waiting to go back to school. UNRWA teachers stand ready to help them fulfill that.
I call on all member states to support UNRWA to do its work to assist people in need in the coming critical period. – UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini
