'I condemn the Israeli airstrike this morning on a «safe zone» in Khan Younis. All parties have an obligation to protect civilians in warfare', said Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide.

'The presence of armed groups does not nullify the obligation to comply with international humanitarian law. The war must end', said Eide.
