UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned Israel's attack on a camp for displaced persons in the Gazan city of Rafah. Israel struck the camp northeast of Rafah on Sunday (26 May). The Palestinian Civil Defense Service said that at least 40 people died and dozens were injured as a result. On Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the airstrike on the refugee camp a "tragic incident," adding that an investigation is underway.
"I condemn Israel’s actions which killed scores of innocent civilians who were only seeking shelter from this deadly conflict," Guterres said on X on Monday.
He added that "there is no safe place in Gaza," calling for an end to "this horror."
Last Friday, the International Court of Justice ordered Israel to halt its military operation in Rafah. ICJ President Nawaf Salam said that Israel must ensure unimpeded access to the enclave for the missions that are investigating the allegations of genocide, as well as for humanitarian aid.
