Issam Al Mughrabi, his wife and children killed along with more than 70 of his family members, the UN says.
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 think what annoys me most is the American news sources who trumpet Biden's speeches saying that he's told Netanyahu to stop the killing, yet fail to report America stonewalling a UN vote for a cease fire ... and forcing the UN to water down what they do ask for.
I hate hypocrisy and America is full of it (like many nations are).
Yep. I noticed Biden is trying to have both: pretends to support a 2 state solution that will never happen, while simultaneously giving weapons in aid to Israel. And on top of that he expects people to vote for him because he's not Trump.
But Anthony Blinken said the United States has done more than any country to stop the killing of civilians in Gaza by providing unlimited quantities of bombs to kill civilians in Gaza.
For what it's worth Al Jazeera is literally a mouthpiece funded by the Qatari government. They're like the VOA/Radio Free XXX/Xinhua/RT of Qatar. It's literally Qatari propaganda.
Cool media is often a tool of propaganda. Can you showcase that this is false? Can you state why you brought it up here? Would you do the same for Israeli propaganda justifying genocide?
