António Guterres, UN Secretary-General, strongly condemned the strike that targeted Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza, with preliminary reports of hundreds killed and many others wounded, including women and children.



In a statement, Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesman for the UN Secretary-General, said the UN Chief also condemned the attack on an UNRWA school earlier in Al-Maghazi refugee camp in Gaza, killing at least six people.

The Secretary-General extended his sincere condolences to the families of the victims and wished a swift recovery to those injured.

He emphasised that hospitals, clinics, medical personnel, and UN premises are explicitly protected under international law.
