The UN chief says many of these colleagues – who include teachers, school principals, doctors, engineers, guards and support staff – were killed along with their family members.
UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, on Monday, joined the UN family in mourning 89 staff members who were killed in Gaza. The staff members were from the UN agency that assisted Palestine refugees .
Among them was a young woman called Mai, who “did not let her muscular dystrophy or her wheelchair confine her dreams,” becoming a top student and eventually working in information technology for UNRWA. He also voiced ongoing grave concern over rising violence and an expansion of the conflict between Israeli forces and Hamas militants, stating that “the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, is at a boiling point.”
“More journalists have reportedly been killed over four weeks than in any conflict in at least three decades. Mr Guterres said although some aid was getting into Gaza via the Rafah crossing from Egypt, this “trickle of assistance does not meet the ocean of need.” He reiterated his appeals for the unconditional release of all Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza, and for the protection of civilians, hospitals, UN facilities, shelters and schools.“More food, more water, more medicine and of course fuel – entering Gaza safely, swiftly and at the scale needed. Now.
