UN humanitarian chief Martin Griffiths described the attack as "utterly unacceptable".
"We've seen the consequences in last night's utterly unacceptable attack," he said in a statement.
"To call it 'a mistake' is a message that means nothing for those killed, those grieving, and those trying to save lives," he added.
