The United Nations Observes A Minute Of Silence In Memory Of The 101 Staff Who Died In Gaza
The United Nations observes a minute of silence in memory of the 101 staff who died in Gaza.
With U.N. flags flying at half mast, UN employees observed a minute of silence on Monday in remembrance of the more than 100 staff who have died in Gaza since the Israel-Hamas conflict started last month.
As a candle was lit in remembrance of the 101 U.N. Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA) employees who were killed in the Israeli assault on Gaza, staff members at U.N. offices in Geneva bowed their heads.
“In such a short period of time, this is the greatest number of aid workers killed in our organization’s history,” stated Tatiana Valovaya, Director-General of the United Nations in Geneva.
