UN envoy 'very concerned' about Gaza violence

BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- The spokesman for UN special envoy for the peace process Robert Serry on Saturday expressed concern about the escalation in cross border violence between Gaza and Israel.

"We're very concerned about this latest escalation," Richard Miron told Ma'an. "We call on both sides to exercise maximum restraint, and we deplore the fact that civilians are paying the price for this violence."

He added: "This proves that the situation in Gaza is very fragile and very unsustainable."

Fifteen people in Gaza have been killed since Friday, with 26 people injured. Eight people in southern Israel have been injured by rocket fire, the Israeli army said.
