One An international employee of the UN security services has died in an attack on a vehicle in the Gaza Strip, says a UN spokesman. This is the first UN international employee killed in the Gaza war.

Secretary General of the UN Antonio Guterres “was deeply saddened to learn of the death of a UN Security Service (DSS) staff member and the wounding of another DSS staff member when their UN vehicle was attacked,” Guterres’ spokesman said Farhan Haq.

The UN did not say the nationality of the dead worker. About 190 Palestinian UN employees have died in Gaza during the war, most of whom worked for the UN aid organization UNRWA.

The attack reportedly took place while UN workers were on their way to a hospital in the Rafah area of ​​southern Gaza. No further details were given about what happened.

“I don’t have specific information whether they were part of a larger convoy or not, but I believe they were traveling as part of a convoy,” Haq said.

United States not the White House National Security Advisor by Jake Sullivan believe that there is a genocide going on in Gaza. He stressed that the main focus of the internationally accepted term is on appropriateness.

However, Sullivan insisted that Israel must do more to protect Palestinian civilians.

President of the United States Joe Biden According to Sullivan, he wants the extremist organization Hamas to be defeated, but the president also understands that Palestinian civilians are currently living in “hell”.

Sullivan said at the press conference that he wanted to clarify the position of the United States regarding the situation in Gaza. The Biden administration has received criticism from across the political spectrum regarding its Gaza policy.

According to Sullivan, Biden believes that any military operation targeting the city of Rafah must be part of a long-term strategy. Related to this is the question of what will happen to Gaza in the future. In this way, according to Sullivan, Israel would avoid getting bogged down in an endless military campaign that would consume state resources.
