UN chief demands inquiry into Israel killing journalists in Gaza

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres strongly condemned the killing of Palestinians in Israeli strikes that hit Nasser Hospital in Gaza, and called for an investigation. “The Secretary General recalls that civilians, including medical personnel and journalists, must be respected and protected at all times,” said the UN chief’s spokesman, Stephane Dujarric. Mr Guterres called for a prompt and impartial investigation into the killings. Mr Dujarric said the UN has been very clear in “what the potential horrors that a new military assault on Gaza city could bring to the Palestinians who have sought safety there”.
