UN deputy political affairs chief Taye-Brook Zerihoun told the council the situation in Gaza "might deteriorate in the coming days.”
Zerihoun also called for civilians, particularly children taking part in protests, to not be targeted by the Israeli occupation forces.
He added: “Israel must uphold its responsibilities under international human rights and humanitarian law.”
The UN official also said: “Lethal force should only be used as a last resort with any resulting fatalities properly investigated by the authorities.”
