UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon “Appalled” at Level of Destruction on UN Compound in Gaza

Visiting a UN compound in Gaza that had been heavily damaged by an Israeli airstrike, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon expressed outrage over the situation and said he was “appalled,” calling the event an “outrageous and totally unacceptable attack against the United Nations.”

 

The UN food warehouse was left in ruins after an Israeli airstrike mistakenly hit the compound during heavy bombings against Hamas targets.

 

Ban not only expressed outrage over the attack on UN property but demanded accountability as well, saying he wanted a full investigation to “make those responsible people accountable.”

 

Gaza has been left in ruin following three weeks of attacks launched by Israel. On Monday it was announced that more than 50,000 people were left homeless while another 400,000 are said to be without water.

 

Both Israel and Hamas have announced a ceasefire but conditions apply. Hamas has demanded Israel troops leave Gaza and that Israel lifts its blockade while Israel has demanded Hamas end rocket attacks launched into southern Israel.

 

More than 1,300 Palestinians have been killed in the three-week conflict.
