UNITED NATIONS, Oct 18: The deadly strike on a hospital in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday is "totally unacceptable", the UN human rights chief Volker Turk said, insisting that the perpetrators must be held to account.

"Words fail me," Volker Turk said in a statement.

"Hundreds of people were killed -- horrifically -- in a massive strike at Al Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City, including patients, healthcare workers and families that had been seeking refuge in and around the hospital.

"Once again the most vulnerable. This is totally unacceptable."
