U.N. Secretary-General Decries "Unprecedented and Unbearable" Israeli Assault on Gaza
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Al Jazeera has obtained an advance copy of a United Nations report
detailing the devastating impact of Israel's assault on Gaza. In it,
Secretary-General António Guterres condemns Israeli airstrikes on
protected persons, including journalists, health workers and U.N.
personnel, and pleads with the Security Council to approve a
humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza. Guterres writes, "The magnitude of
Israel's military campaign against Hamas and the scope of death and
destruction in Gaza has been unprecedented and unbearable to witness."
