Leaders at an African Union summit in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa on Saturday condemned Israel’s offensive in Gaza and called for its immediate end.

Moussa Faki, chairman of the African Union Commission, said Israel’s offensive was the “most flagrant” violation of international humanitarian law, and accused Israel of having “exterminated” Gaza’s inhabitants.
