UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said Gaza is turning into a graveyard for children.
During an appeal calling for the protection of civilians in Gaza, he said Hamas was using them as human shields and reiterated his call for a humanitarian break.
"Israeli forces have continued bombings that are hitting civilians, hospitals, refugee camps, mosques, churches and UN facilities, including shelters. No one is safe. At the same time Hamas and other militants are using civilians as human shields and continue to fire rockets indiscriminately at Israel. Hundreds of girls and boys are said to be killed or injured every day ," Guterres said at a press conference.
He added that the conflict has "shocked the world" and "destroyed so many innocent lives".
"Nothing can justify the deliberate torture, killing, wounding and abduction of civilians. The protection of civilians must be paramount," Guterres said.
