UN flags at half-mast in memory of staff killed by Israeli strikes on Gaza
Geneva, The Gulf Observer: Flags flew at half-mast at United Nations compounds across Asia, as staff observed a minute’s silence in memory of colleagues killed in Gaza during the Israeli strikes on the besieged enclave.
The blue and white UN flag was lowered at 9:30 am local time at offices in Bangkok, Tokyo and Beijing, a day after the world body reported “a significant number of deaths and injuries” in strikes on a facility in Gaza.
The UN agency for supporting Palestinians (UNRWA) announced on Friday that more than 100 of its employees had died in Gaza since the start of the conflict.
