Statement on the death of Dr Kanayo F. Nwanze
It is with deep sadness that we have learned that former IFAD President, visionary leader and passionate advocate for rural people, Dr. Kanayo F. Nwanze, has died.
At IFAD we are following the situation in Israel and the Gaza Strip with great concern and sadness.
We join the Secretary-General in condemning the attacks by Hamas and believe all diplomatic efforts must be deployed to avoid wider hostilities, destruction and loss of life.
