Kagame said the problem at hand is very complex but it is not insurmountable. He urged for a sense of heightened urgency, by the world, to join hands to find a lasting solution.

He said: "The powers, means, and capacity represented in this room today cannot fail to prompt immediate action to bring an end to the terrible suffering of countless innocent civilians as we are seeing every day. It moves us deeply and we are here to offer our modest contribution to the tiniest diplomatic and mediation initiatives of various countries and organisations to achieve a cease fire in Gaza.

"These efforts that have been ongoing must be acknowledged and supported so that we see tangible results as quickly as possible to ensure the protection of children and their families and the alleviation of their devastating circumstances."
