NATO chief: "What we see now in Gaza is humanitarian catastrophe"

The NATO secretary general on Wednesday condemned this week's killing of seven aid workers in the Gaza Strip, but welcomed Israel's initiative to launch investigation into the incident, APA reports citing anews.

"What we see now in Gaza is humanitarian catastrophe. We see suffering, we see that civilians are killed, and we also saw the strike against aid workers and I condemn the strike," Jens Stoltenberg told a news conference in Brussels where foreign ministers of the defense alliance have gathered for a meeting.

The NATO chief said he welcomed the fact that Israel has made sure it will investigate what happened.
