NEW YORK, Nov 8 (Reuters) - United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Wednesday that the number of civilians killed in the Gaza Strip shows that there is something “clearly wrong” with Israel’s military operations against Hamas Palestinian militants.
Israel has vowed to wipe out Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, after the militants killed 1,400 people and took more than 240 hostages in an Oct. 7 attack.
Israel has struck Gaza - an enclave of 2.3 million people - from the air, imposed a siege and launched a ground invasion.
Guterres compared the number of children being killed in Gaza with the toll in conflicts around the world that he reports on annually to the U.N. Security Council.
In June, Guterres added Russia’s armed forces to the report’s list of offenders after the United Nations verified that they killed 136 children in Ukraine in 2022.
When it comes to what happens in Gaza after the fighting ends, Guterres outlined what he described as a “best-case scenario” - that “hopefully a re-invigorated” Palestinian Authority could assume political control.
