Minute's silence for more than 100 UN workers killed in Gaza
United Nations workers observed a minute's silence to honour the more than 100 employees killed in Gaza.
UN flags flew at half mast as the staff in Geneva and bowed their heads as a candle was lit in memory of the 101 employees of UN Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA) killed since the war broke out.
"This is the highest number of aid workers killed in the history of our organisation in such a short time," said Tatiana Valovaya, Director-General of the UN in Geneva.
Established in 1949 following the first Arab-Israeli war, UNRWA provides public services including schools, healthcare and aid. Many of UNRWA's 5,000 staff working in Gaza are Palestinian refugees themselves.
