UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon "deeply alarmed" by Gaza violence
2008-12-28
Ma'an -- UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon is "deeply alarmed" by Saturday's "heavy violence and bloodshed" in Gaza, said a statement from his spokesperson Saturday evening.

The statement also expressed concern over the "continuation of violence in southern Israel."

Ki-Moon appealed to all sides to stop the violence.

In the statement Ki-Moon was said to "firmly reiterate Israel's obligation to uphold international humanitarian and human rights law," and further condemned their "excessive use of force leading to the killing and injuring of civilians."

He likewise condemned the use of violence by Palestinian militants and said he was "deeply distressed that repeated calls on Hamas for these attacks to end have gone unheeded."

He also called for aid to be sent to Gaza immediately.
