UN secretary-general 'horrified' by attack outside al-Shifa hospital

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he was "horrified" by the bombing that struck an ambulance convoy outside al-Shifa hospital on 3 November.

He added that "now, for nearly one month, civilians in Gaza, including children & women, have been besieged, denied aid, killed and bombed out of their homes. This must stop.”

At least 15 people were killed in the bombing of al-Shifa, Gaza's largest hospital, according to Al Jazeera. Video footage circulating online showed bloody and chaotic scenes.

I am horrified by the reported attack in Gaza on an ambulance convoy outside Al Shifa hospital.

Now, for nearly one month, civilians in Gaza, including children & women, have been besieged, denied aid, killed & bombed out of their homes.

This must stop.
