UN High Commissioner for Human Rights spokesman Jeremy Lawrence says any ground attack on Rafah would lead to heavy loss of life and increase the risk of further brutal crimes. “Today we are entering the sixth month of the brutal conflict and we fear that this catastrophic situation may slide deeper into the abyss,” he said. “There must be an immediate end to this conflict and the killing and destruction must stop,” he added.
