UN condemns ‘devastating’ Israeli strike in Gaza, sets Security Council meeting
The United Nations Security Council is set to meet today to discuss Gaza in the wake of this weekend’s Israeli airstrike on what it says was a terror HQ inside a school that was being used as a shelter.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres calls the strike “devastating” and condemns “the continued loss of life in Gaza” in a post on the social media platform X.
Algeria has called for the urgent Security Council meeting after missiles hit the school Saturday. Gaza’s Hamas-run Health Ministry has claimed at least 80 people were killed, without providing more details or distinguishing between civilians and fighters. Israel says at least 31 were members of terror groups, releasing a list of their names.
