"If Theres Hell On Earth, Its Lives Of Children In Gaza": UN Chief

Antonio Guterres also said "indiscriminate firing of rockets by Hamas and other terrorist groups towards population centres in Israel is also unacceptable."

Continued crossfire between Israeli forces and terrorist groups including Hamas is "unacceptable," Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told the UN General Assembly Thursday, saying "the fighting must stop immediately." "I am deeply shocked by the continued air and artillery bombardment by the Israeli Defence Forces in Gaza," Guterres said of the salvos that he said have killed "at least 208 Palestinians, including 60 children." The Gaza health ministry has put the toll slightly higher, at 230 Palestinians killed, 65 of them children. Guterres continued that "indiscriminate firing of rockets by Hamas and other terrorist groups towards population centres in Israel, resulting in at least 12 fatalities including two children, and hundreds of injuries, is also unacceptable."
