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.
Israel’s done for now! They will get stern words and hard finger wagging from the UN!

Lol who the fuck cares about MBFC? Why are you spamming posts about a useless rating made up by a single guy in North Carolina?
And our elected leaders stand by politely ignoring the obvious humanitarian issues and overt war crimes.
Exactly, like what the fuck?
Well, the US does have an ardent pro-Israel Zionazi as the president this time around.
Genocide is fine so long as it destabilizes the middle east, gets oil corporations better deals thanks to that, and profits military corporations.
it’s totally fair to criticize Biden as long as we can agree that the alternative is much worse.
the alternative: genocide plus fascism.
Merry Christmas wishes from Genocide Joe and his Nazi friends.
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?

I don’t agree, but that’s why I’m on lemmy.ml rather than here most of the time.
I’m still curious why the comment then though. Without any further context it only seems to serve to imply the story is false.

Not sure what that means in this context but from scanning your history, you don’t seem disingenuous so gonna chalk it up misunderstanding haha
