UN chief urges Israel to safeguard lives of Palestinian children
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon urged Israel on Thursday to protect the lives of Palestinian children, who have borne the brunt of its military operations in Gaza.
"Last year was one of the worst in recent memory for children in countries affected by conflict," the UN leader said, adding he is "deeply alarmed at the suffering of so many children as a result of Israeli military operations in Gaza last year."
