Storyline:
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres strongly condemns an Israeli airstrike on a camp for displaced people in the southernmost Gazan city of Rafah, which killed 45 Palestinians, said his spokesman on Tuesday.

Guterres has condemned in the strongest terms Sunday's airstrikes on Rafah hitting tents sheltering displaced people. He is heartbroken by the images of the killed and injured, including many small children, said Stephane Dujarric, the spokesman, in a statement.

As Guterres has said before, the horror and suffering must stop immediately, said the statement. The secretary-general recalls the recent orders of the International Court of Justice, which are binding and must be complied with, said the spokesman.

The International Court of Justice has ordered Israel to halt its military offensive on Rafah.

Guterres spoke for the first time about supporting the new Palestinian government and its institutions, including preparing for the Palestinian Authority to reassume its responsibilities in Gaza.

Meanwhile, in response to Algeria's request, the UN Security Council on Tuesday held emergency internal consultations on the incident.
