Ban Ki-Moon: Gaza is a source of shame to the international community
UN chief visits under tight security to view destruction from the 50-day conflict and demand justice for shelling of UN facilities
Peter Beaumont in Jerusalem and Hazem Balousha in Gaza, The Guardian, Tuesday 14 October
The UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, described the destruction in Gaza from the recent conflict with Israel as “beyond description” and a source of “shame to the international community” as he visited the war-devastated coastal strip on Tuesday.
“I am here with a heavy heart,” Ban told a press conference. “The destruction which I have seen coming here is beyond description,” he added.
Ban said the damage was far worse than what he had seen after the previous conflict –- Operation Cast Lead –- that took place in 2008-09.
The UN chief was driven through the ruins of Gaza City’s Shuja’iya neighbourhood and visited a school in nearby Jabaliya refugee camp, scenes of some of the heaviest Israeli shelling in this summer’s conflict.
Two classrooms at the UN school were hit by shells, killing at least 14 people sheltering there. Relatives of the dead held up posters showing their loved ones, while waiting to catch a glimpse of the UN head.
Ban saved his strongest language for the deaths of about 500 children during the war. “I met so many of the beautiful children of Gaza. More than 500 were killed in the fighting -– many more were wounded. What did they do wrong? Being born in Gaza is not a crime.”
