United Nations: Responding to question by Al Jazeera, Antonio Guterres has decried loss of thousands of civilian lives in Israel’s bombardment of Gaza.

UN boss said it is “Clear” that thousands of children have been killed in just few weeks. “This is what matters,” he said at press briefing held at UN.

“We are witnessing killing of civilians that is unparalleled and unprecedented in any conflict since I am Secretary General.” Guterres’s first five-year term began in January 2017.

Some 13,000 people, including at least 5,500 children, have been martyred in Israeli attacks on Gaza, according to officials in besieged territory.

Meanwhile, The head of the World Health Organisation said on yesterday on social media platform X that 12 of the premature babies rescued from Gaza's Al Shifah hospital had been flown to Cairo.

Medics transferred 28 premature babies across Gaza's border with Egypt earlier on Monday after being rescued from a hospital in the northern part of the enclave, which has been the main focus of Israeli bombardments.
