UN spokesperson Stefan Dujarric announced on Tuesday that over one million individuals in Gaza urgently require shelter assistance. He emphasized that relying on tents is not a sustainable solution, as they provide only temporary protection and do not meet the long-term needs of the population.
In a separate context, Dujarric reiterated the UN's call for an immediate ceasefire in Sudan, highlighting the urgent need to protect civilians and halt the violations threatening their lives amid the ongoing armed conflict.
Dujarric's statements reflect the severity of escalating humanitarian crises in multiple regions, where civilians in Gaza face a dire shelter crisis, while those in Sudan endure the pressures of a violent conflict that threatens the stability of both the country and the broader region.
