Q:  Mr. Secretary, how do you see the picture in Gaza and Rafah this day?<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

SG:  I did say something about that on Friday.  I am really distressed that the destruction of houses continues.  It really is causing a very difficult and painful situation for the people of Palestine.  It is making it very difficult for UNRWA to carry out its activities, and I appeal to the Israeli government to stop this destruction, which is against international humanitarian law.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Q:  Any comment or follow up on Israel’s accusation that UN ambulances were being used to ferry out body parts of Israeli soldiers? <\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

SG:  We are investigating those allegations seriously.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
