Issam Al Mughrabi, 56, who worked for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) for three decades was killed along with his wife and children in an Israeli air strike on Friday.
“For almost 30 years, Issam has worked with UNDP through our Programme of Assistance to the Palestinian People,” UNDP administrator Achim Steiner said in a statement.
“The loss of Issam and his family has deeply affected us all. The UN and civilians in Gaza are not a target.”
Offering his condolences to Issam’s family and colleagues the World Health Organization’s chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stressed in a post on X that “humanitarians should never be victims” and called for a ceasefire.
I mean, basically no one in the West covers China at all except to say “China bad and is simultaneously going broke and bankrolling all US politicians”
Which in fairness, seems like it is actually true… Those aren’t actually mutually exclusive
My bigger problem is I can’t get a read on the state of China. They’re seasoning stones and ice because they’re having food issues… But it’s a continent sized country. It contains multitudes.
There’s a lot of crazy shit going on over there, but is it falling apart, in decline, or just undergoing some crazy shit?
