US urges civilian protection in Gaza
The United States urges greater effort to protect civilians in the Gaza Strip as it voices sadness over deaths at a UN school that served as a shelter.
“We are deeply saddened and concerned about the tragic incident,” State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki says in Cairo, where Secretary of State John Kerry is trying to negotiate a ceasefire.
“We again urge all parties to redouble their efforts to protect civilians.”
Psaki also condemns the storage of weapons in UN facilities.
“We urge all parties to respect civilian life and comply with international humanitarian law,” she says.
