UNITED NATIONS — UN Secretary General Kofi Annan said on Wednesday, August 9, that the ongoing Lebanon war had distracted international attention from the "unjustifiable" Palestinian killings in the relentless Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip."The secretary general is greatly concerned that the tragic events in Lebanon and northern Israel should not distract from the urgent need to work towards a solution to the current crisis in the occupied Palestinian territory," said his spokesman, Stephane Dujarric, reported Agence France-Presse (AFP).
The UN chief deplored the killing of hundreds of Palestinian civilians in Israeli attacks in Gaza.
"The continued killing and injuring of hundreds of civilians, including children, in Gaza, by Israeli forces is utterly unjustifiable."
