Gaza conflict: Israeli air strikes claim 20 lives after UN urges immediate ceasefire
Palestinian death toll rises to 501 after 20 people were killed when a home was destroyed in the town of Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip, The Telegraph reported.
Israeli air strikes claimed another 20 lives in the Gaza Strip on Monday after the United Nations Security Council voiced “serious concern” about the violence and urged an immediate ceasefire.
The United Nations Human Rights Council will hold an emergency session on Israel's assault on Gaza on Wednesday at the request of Egypt, Palestine and Islamic states, the UN said.
Egypt's request, made on behalf of the Arab Group of countries, was backed by the requisite minimum of 16 member states of the 47-member forum, including China, Russia and Saudi Arabia.
