The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk calls for an urgent de-escalation in the Middle East over fears that the Gaza war could spread.

“I am deeply worried about the rising risk of a wider conflict in the Middle East and plead with all parties, along with those states with influence, to act urgently to deescalate what has become a very precarious situation,” says Turk in a statement.
