A senior United Nations official in Gaza warned today that "tragically the horror continues" with 19 children reported killed and 52 injured in just the last 24 hours of Israel-Hamas fighting, even as Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon briefed the Security Council on his upcoming trip to the region to speed up the diplomatic efforts for a ceasefire.
"For the Secretary-General our message will be as it has been consistently: Please, we have to get an end to the fighting, nowhere in Gaza is safe, the situation here is horrific for everybody," the Gaza Director of Operations of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), John Ging, told a news conference in New York, speaking by video link from ground zero.
