Kamala Harris says ‘too many’ civilian deaths in Gaza | BBC News

US Vice-President Kamala Harris has condemned the loss of civilian life in an Israeli air strike against a school building in Gaza on Saturday.

More than 70 people were killed at the building which sheltered displaced Palestinians, the director of a hospital has told the BBC.

Ms Harris said “far too many” civilians had been killed “yet again”and reiterated calls for a hostage deal and a ceasefire, echoing comments made by the White House.

An Israeli military spokesman said al-Taba’een school “served as an active Hamas and Islamic Jihad military facility”, which Hamas denies.

  1. No shit Kamala! Now put your words into action and cut ties with Zionist Israel. Otherwise your words mean nothing and you are no different to Trump.

  2. 报道自己国家的暴乱连评论都关了,我还想在下面给你们国家送个名货说的祝福语呢。佩洛西:“美丽的风景线”

  3. Please cover the deaths of Hindus and kidnapping and sexual harassment of Hindu girls in Bangladesh like in Gaza. Does BBC News cover only selected issues or is Bangladesh off your list?

  4. Kamala Harris, only saying or condemning will not solve this issue. The USA must stop providing unconditional support to Israel. Is it possible to do at least that?

  5. This being reported in the news is hilarious, after all it clearly demonstrates that the situation of poverty in Venezuela and throughout Latin America is caused by the United States and the cause of all immigration.
    US is negotiating amnesty for Maduro to leave power, says newspaper
    According to a report by "The Wall Street Journal", Washington also wants to offer guarantees that it will not persecute Maduro if he agrees to recognize the victory that the opposition claims to have had in the Venezuelan elections.

  6. She just wants pro palestinians votes. Has she set out that she will stop weapons and money going to Israel until they stop what is happening in Gaza? No. In fact she was heckled by a pro palestinian protestor and at a rally and called them pro Trump!!!! Strange

  7. I'd rather vote for a "in your face Liar, like Trump" than this weazel woman who is manipulating you to thinking shes the good between the two evils.

  8. The standard response for the last 7 months "we are deeply concened"
    How sweet of them.
    Even the news readers put on a very concerned face
    And the genicide continues

  9. Harris
    Has it bypassed Her that it's the USA that is Supplying the ISRAELIS with the Cash & Arms to commit the GENOCIDE they are commiting in Gaza/Westbank.
    Maybe it just a Truth that She doesn't want to Face.
    Please

  10. Harris and democrats started this war, they are the only one continuing this war. They are crying fowl. It's innocent Muslims who fall for Harris propoganada and result is thousands of death, economic fall, and destablised country. Both Israeli and Palestinian suffers. American rich earns and poor remain poor.

  11. In war there is no avoiding civilian casualties. War is ugly and there is always a lot of death and sorrow.
    This is why soldiers are the biggest advocates for peace, we see what war does. If civilians and politicians had the same viewpoints maybe we could reduce or prevent wars.

  12. Kamala Harris is a joke of a politician

    The terrorists that are Hamas do use civilians as human shields. They embed themselves amongst vulnerable civilians. Absolutely cowardly and deplorable.

    Hezbollah are doing the same now and moving their top tier military leaders to live in homes near Christian neighbourhoods and villages.

    Anyone who blames Israel for the death of these civilians needs to open their eyes and realise who’s putting these people in the firing line.

  13. Yet again, more blame, more condementations and more lip services but then …. business as normal, more sales of weapon to Israel, more participating and paying for murdering of palestinians, more BS

  14. ENGLISH MAN NO MORE ENLIGHTENED THAAN BLACK PEOPLE PF ASIAN SHORES ,,,,THERES THE LIGHT ABOVE THAAT TIME ZONNE ,,ONLY 1 WHO DEFINES MORAL AUTHORITY OVER DAARK SIDE

  15. Saying that will not change policy. It could deceive expectant gullibles. One speaks differently during elections and speaks realistically when advised as a President. These speeches are just restating a momentary perception as a Presidential candidate before potential voters.

  16. Terrorists are living amongst civilians! This is a terrible predicament that is complicated, but the government should be doing something about getting the civilians to safety and away from terrorists.
