Today, the @UN family observed a moment of silence to mourn & honour our colleagues killed in Gaza.

Since the start of this conflict, more than 100 @UNRWA staff have lost their lives - the highest number of UN aid workers killed in a conflict in such a short time.

They will never be forgotten.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I repeat my call for a humanitarian ceasefire in the Middle East, the unconditional release of all hostages, and the delivery of life-saving supplies at the scale needed.

Everyone must assume their responsibilities.

This is a moment of truth.

History will judge us all.

[Jeff Crisp @JFCrisp]

Who exactly in IOM has decided that the awful process of interception, capture, forced return, incarceration and abuse by the EU-supported and militia-linked Libyan Coast Guard should be described as "disembarkation"?
Ridiculous.
