Israeli strikes kill UN staff, more than 70 of his extended family in Gaza
aljazeera.com
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.

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.
Yeah isn't it nice how simple the world is? Black or white. No nuance. Nuance sure would be shitty.
The world isn’t nice, because it’s so simple. Money.
