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.” Criticising both Israel and Hamas, he added: “Perhaps nothing so powerfully symbolises this summer of suffering than the Jabaliya school. Thousands of women, children, families were forced to flee the intense hostilities. They sought sanctuary under the UN flag. All of the details related to the location of this facility were shared with Israeli authorities again and again. Yet the shells fell.”
