The needless suffering must end now, says the Nobel laureate
LONDON (Web Desk) - Nobel laureate and activist Malala Yousafzai heaves a sigh of relief over temporary ceasefire in Gaza after days of bombardment by the Israeli forces.
She said the women, children, and everyone would reunite with their families after many days.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, Malala, however, said that tomorrow, the children of Gaza will wake up grieving loved ones, desperate for food and water. They will fear that their homes, streets, and schools will soon be under fire again, she added.
Tonight, I feel relief for the women, children and young people reunited with their families, and for the pause in the bombardment of Gaza.

“We must keep speaking out for them— for a full ceasefire and more humanitarian aid. The needless suffering must end,” wrote the human rights activist on X.
Earlier this month, Malala had stressed that children and schools should never be targets. Israeli forces continued bombing of schools and hospitals and killed thousands of children since Oct 7.
Children and schools should never be targets. This isn’t a matter of opinion — it’s international law.
