NEW YORK (WAM)

António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, condemned the death of at least 18 people, including children, women, and six UNRWA staff, in Israeli airstrikes that hit a school serving as a shelter in Nuseirat on September 11.

In a statement carried by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesman for the Secretary-General, Guterres said that this incident raises the number of UNRWA staff killed in this conflict to 220.

He stated that the continued lack of effective protection for civilians in Gaza is "unconscionable".

The Secretary-General reiterated his call for an immediate ceasefire and the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages. This horrific violence must stop.
