AFP - UN chief Ban Ki-moon on Tuesday called for those
responsible for the bombing of UN-run buildings and schools in Gaza to
be held accountable following Israel's 22-day war on Hamas.
"It is an outrageous and totally unacceptable attack on the United
Nations," Ban said, speaking outside the still-smouldering main UN
compound in Gaza City that was bombed during the war.
"There must be a full investigation, a full explanation to make sure it
never happens again. There should be accountability through a proper
judiciary system," he said.
Ban, describing the scenes in post-war Gaza "heartbreaking," became the
first world leader to visit the enclave since Israel halted the
deadliest offensive it has ever launched on the Palestinian territory,
which has been ruled by the Islamist Hamas movement since June 2007.
The UN compound where he spoke was hit by Israeli shells on January 15,
setting a warehouse alight, burning tonnes of badly needed food aid and
sending a massive column of black smoke into the air above Gaza City
for hours.
Another four UN buildings -- schools where Gazans were sheltering from
the fighting -- were struck by Israel in the course of the fighting.
More than 40 people were killed in one such attack, according to medics
and UN officials.
"I'm just appalled. I'm not able to decribe how I'm feeling, having
seen this site of the bombing of the United Nations compound. Everyone
is now smelling, this morning, still, it is still burning," Ban said.
"I have protested many times and today I am protesting again in the
strongest terms and condemning it. I have asked for a full
investigation and to make those responsible people accountable."
Ban went on to accuse Israel of using "excessive force" in the
conflict, but he also condemned Palestinian rocket fire on southern
Israel, calling it "completely unacceptable."
Israel has said it made very effort to prevent the deaths of civilians
and said it was fired upon from inside or near each of the UN sites in
question, a charge often disputed by UN workers.
After touring the scenes of devastation left by the three-week-long
campaign in which Israel pummelled the territory with air strikes and
tanks shells and destroyed thousands of houses, Ban said he had seen
"heart-breaking scenes."
The UN chief said a "massive international effort" would be required to
resolve the Middle East conflict and create a Palestinian state living
in peace with Israel, saying he was "more determined than ever to see
this achieved."
More than 1,300 Palestinians were killed in the offensive, nearly a
third of them children, according to Palestinian medics. Ten Israeli
soldiers and three civilians were killed over the same period.---------------
