Battlefields are dangerous places, ‘tis said.
[GEO.TV] UN Secretary-General António Guterres
...Portuguese politician and diplomat, ninth Secretary-General of the United Nations. Previously, he was the UN High Commissioner for Refugees between 2005 and 2015. He was the Prime Minister of Portugal from 1995 to 2002 and was the Secretary-General of the Socialist Party from 1992 to 2002.

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. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...

Guterres said on X, "humanitarian workers must be protected"

#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...
