“As far as we are concerned, we do not know exactly what happened and whether people were hit and killed by Israeli gunfire, whether they were crushed by a crowd or whether they were run over by trucks,” continued UN spokesman Dujarric. UN Secretary-General António Guterres condemned the incident. “Desperate civilians in Gaza urgently need help, including those in the besieged north, where the United Nations has been unable to provide assistance for more than a week,” he said. The UN chief was also “horrified” by the fact that, according to the health authority, 30,000 people had already been killed and another 70,000 injured in the Gaza war. The UN spokesperson reiterated that the United Nations believes the figures are correct.
