Israeli strike on Rafah triggers UN emergency meeting | BBC News


The UN Security Council will hold an emergency meeting later on Tuesday to discuss Israel’s strike on the southern Gazan city of Rafah on Sunday.

At least 45 people were killed, according to the Hamas-run health ministry, while hundreds more were treated for severe burns, fractures and shrapnel wounds.

Israeli strikes in Rafah have continued despite the dozens killed in Sunday’s bombing.

Israel’s PM Benjamin Netanyahu said the strike was a “tragic mishap” but added: “I don’t intend to end the war before every goal has been achieved.”

Last week, the EU asked Israel to "fully respect" a ruling by the International Court of Justice that Israel stop military actions on Rafah "which may inflict on the Palestinian group in Gaza conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part”.
