Statement by the Commissioner General of UNRWA
Filippo Grandi

Jerusalem
I was deeply saddened to learn the news of the tragic deaths of children and a number of adults in a road traffic accident today near Qalandia. Initial reports say a large number of people, including children were also injured. There is nothing more appalling to us and our communities than the needless deaths and suffering of innocent children. My condolences go out to the families and friends of the victims at this terrible time.
