United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres strongly condemned the attack on the Al-Ahly hospital in Gaza, which killed at least hundreds of civilians following a strike on a hospital in Gaza on Tuesday.
In a tweet, the top UN official said: “Hospitals and medical personnel are protected under international humanitarian law.”
He also condemned an attack earlier on Tuesday on a school run by the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), which killed at least six people, according to his spokesperson.
