U.N. Chief Condemns Israel's "Appalling Killing" of 4 Boys in Gaza 
-------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Before the Israeli ground assault began, the United Nations had already
warned 900,000 people in Gaza were without running water due to damage
from Israel's aerial bombardments. Shortly after Israel launched the
ground offensive, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the
escalation of the conflict.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon: "In the past 24 hours, there have
been a number of incidents involving the death of civilians, including
the appalling killing of four boys on a beach in Gaza City. I urge
Israel to do far more to stop civilian casualties. There can be no
military solution to this conflict."
