has condemned the killing of a staff member of the global organization after one of its vehicles was struck in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'dexpect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

Guterres said on X, "humanitarian workers must be protected"
Even if they are armed Hamas killers!
"I condemn all attacks on UN personnel and reiterate my urgent appeal for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire & the release of all hostages," he added.

#4 the killing of a staff member of the global organization after one of its vehicles was struck in Gazoo

I realize that having a sense of curiosity forever disqualifies me from being a journalist, but I gotta wonder about the backstory here. Was it simply one of those "shit happens" things that occur in the chaos of war or was it that, in addition to its UN occupant, said vehicle was carrying weapons and fighters? Inquiring minds...
