In an address to the Security Council, Archbishop Caccia said the violence in Gaza is “a human tragedy” that is causing “unimaginable” suffering.
Archbishop Caccia called on the UN to work for an immediate ceasefire and to create the conditions for a just and lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
