Gaza hospital strike 'totally unacceptable, says UN rights chief

The deadly strike on the Ahli Arab hospital in the Gaza Strip on the evening of 17 October is "totally unacceptable", says the UN’s High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, insisting that the perpetrators must be held to account.

Health authorities in Gaza say the strike on the hospital killed between 200 and 300 people.

The World Health Organization has also condemned the deadly strike and demanded the immediate protection of civilians.
