United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told the UN General Assembly on Thursday that "if there is a hell on earth, it is the lives of children in Gaza".
Guterres called for an "immediate end" to the fighting and said he was "deeply shocked by the continued air and artillery bombardment" by Israeli forces on Gaza, reports the Al Jazeera.
The 11-day Israeli bombardment has killed more than 200 Palestinians in Gaza, including 60 children.

He added that the "indiscriminate firing of rockets by Hamas" and other groups towards Israel – which have left 12 dead, including two children – was also "unacceptable".
