Journalists, hospitals must not be 'a target', UN says after Israel's Gaza strike

W460

The United Nations insisted Monday that journalists and hospitals should never be targeted, after an Israeli strike on a hospital killed at least 20 people including five journalists.

"The killing of journalists in Gaza should shock the world -- not into stunned silence but into action, demanding accountability and justice," U.N. rights office spokeswoman Ravina Shamdasani said in a statement, insisting: "Journalists are not a target. Hospitals are not a target."
