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.
For what it’s worth Al Jazeera is literally a mouthpiece funded by the Qatari government. They’re like the VOA/Radio Free XXX/Xinhua/RT of Qatar. It’s literally Qatari propaganda.
Cool media is often a tool of propaganda. Can you showcase that this is false? Can you state why you brought it up here? Would you do the same for Israeli propaganda justifying genocide?

I don’t agree, but that’s why I’m on lemmy.ml rather than here most of the time.
I’m still curious why the comment then though. Without any further context it only seems to serve to imply the story is false.

Not sure what that means in this context but from scanning your history, you don’t seem disingenuous so gonna chalk it up misunderstanding haha
