The number of civilians killed in Gaza indicates there is something “clearly wrong” with Israel’s military operation, the UN’s chief says.
“There are violations by Hamas when they have human shields. But when one looks at the number of civilians that were killed with the military operations, there is something that is clearly wrong,” Antonio Guterres said.
At least 10,569 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza – including 4,324 children – since October 7, the Health Ministry in Gaza said. In Israel, the death toll stands at more than 1,400 since Hamas’s attack.
“Every year the highest number of killing of children by any of the actors in all the conflicts that we witness is the maximum in the hundreds,” Guterres said in an interview with Reuters Next in New York. “We have in a few days in Gaza seen thousands of children killed.”
