“Israeli Defense Forces ground operations and ongoing shelling are affecting civilians, hospitals, refugee camps, mosques, churches and UN facilities, including shelters,” the UN Secretary-General said.
Protecting civilians should be “paramount” in the conflict between Israel and Hamas, stressed United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterreswarning that the Gaza Strip turns into a “children’s cemetery”.
“Israeli Defense Forces ground operations and ongoing shelling are affecting civilians, hospitals, refugee camps, mosques, churches and facilities of the UN, including shelters. No one is safe,” Guterres told reporters.
“At the same time, Hamas and other fighters use civilians as human shields and continue to fire rockets indiscriminately at Israel,” he continued.
Guterres said clear violations of international humanitarian law were being committed and called again for a humanitarian ceasefire.
