United Nations (AFP): UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres was "dismayed" by civilian casualties in Gaza and "deeply disturbed" by Israel's strike on a building containing international media outlets, a spokesman said Saturday (May 15) in response to reporters' questions.
The comments came as Israel pummeled the Gaza Strip with airstrikes, killing 10 members of an extended family and demolishing the 13-floor Gaza building housing Qatar-based Al Jazeera and The Associated Press news agency, with Palestinian fighters firing back barrages of rockets.
