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 (UNRWA).
Mr Guterres told journalists at UN Headquarters in New York that the Gaza crisis was more than a humanitarian crisis. “The nightmare in Gaza is more than a humanitarian crisis. It is a crisis of humanity.”
According to him, many of these colleagues – who include teachers, school principals, doctors, engineers, guards and support staff – were killed along with their family members.
