UN chief says Gaza strike a ‘horrific example’ of civilian suffering

NEW YORK: The UN chief on Thursday condemned an Israeli strike on a UN-run school that the Israeli military alleged housed a “Hamas compound” as a Gaza hospital said at least 37 people had been killed.
“It’s just another horrific example of the price that civilians are paying, that Palestinian men, women and children who are just trying to survive (are paying),” UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’s spokesman Stephane Dujarric said.
“Of course he condemns this attack. There will need to be accountability for everything that has happened in Gaza.”
