UN rights chief voices ‘horror’ at Israeli strike on Rafah camp

The UN human rights chief voiced “horror” at an Israeli air strike that Gaza officials said killed 45 people in a displacement camp in Rafah, demanding “accountability”, AFP reports.

“The images from the camp are horrific and point to no apparent change in the methods and means of warfare used by Israel that have already led to so many civilian deaths,” Volker Turk said in a statement, also calling on Palestinian armed groups to stop firing rockets and to “unconditionally release all hostages at once”.
