Issam Al Mughrabi, 56, who worked for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) for three decades was killed along with his wife and children in an Israeli air strike on Friday.
“For almost 30 years, Issam has worked with UNDP through our Programme of Assistance to the Palestinian People,” UNDP administrator Achim Steiner said in a statement.
“The loss of Issam and his family has deeply affected us all. The UN and civilians in Gaza are not a target.”
Offering his condolences to Issam’s family and colleagues the World Health Organization’s chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stressed in a post on X that “humanitarians should never be victims” and called for a ceasefire.
I hope Germany and the UK are the first to come forward and try to stop this atrocity but I have no such expectations.
The UK were offering to send surveillance planes to help Israel with targetting in Gaza.
As for Germany the very day the UN announced Israel had already killed over 4000 children in Gaza, herr Sholz reafirmed his unwavering support of Israel.
Those two are some of the worst, only beaten in their love for these Fascists by the US.
The ones to be proud of in Europe when it comes to their reaction to this massacre are the Republic of Ireland and Spain.
I wonder what Hitler would have to say about Israel, if he could see it now? He’d probably tell them they’re doing it wrong, as if there’s a right way to genocide.
Hitler would be happy about a Jewish Ethnostate to segregate them to, in general, but yeah there’s no telling how he would react to their actions unless he could somehow grift something from the whole situation.
The supporters of Israel have the most power to stop this, though.
The UK is still reminiscing about the glory days of empire when it was exporting food from their colonies while millions of Indians and Irish starved to death or fighting a war to get Chinese people addicted to opium.
A war started by selling opium to China after China had banned opium due to an epidemic caused by years of being sold opium by the British.
Germany is too wound up in internal stupidity contests right now. I wouldn’t be surprised if after January 2nd everything is grinding to a halt because of farmers and the new laws…
