UNITED NATIONS MAY 17. UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan asked Israel on Monday to stop bulldozing homes along the Gaza-Egypt border, saying the demolitions violate international law and inhibit UN refugee workers from doing their jobs.
The appeal was the second from Mr Annan since Friday, when he condemned Israel's widespread destruction of homes near the Gaza-Egypt border corridor.
"I appeal to the Israeli government to stop this destruction, which is against international humanitarian law," Annan told reporters at UN headquarters. "I am really distressed that the destruction of houses continues," he said.
