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.
A great investigative article by @ce_tracey on @thebafflermag - ft. @agarciaborja - on the forensic anthropology work being conducted to identify migrants who lost their lives in the Texas borderlands. #Endmigrantdeaths https://t.co/cziH4hJNQ9

Since the beginning of this year, 1449 people tragically died or disappeared on migration routes in MENA.
One death is one too many. This alarming death toll demands concreted efforts to ensure the safety and protection of migrants.
We are ALL RESPONSIBLE.

Instamos a los Estados a que asuman compromisos y movilicen esfuerzos para salvar vidas y evitar la desaparición de migrantes, facilitando vías regulares y seguras para las personas en contexto de movilidad.
Mientras que tragedias como las de #SanAntonio y #Melilla son imposibles de ignorar, la mayoría de las muertes de personas migrantes permanecen invisibles, las víctimas no son identificadas y las necesidades de sus familias no son atendidas.
At least two people have died in Ceuta since the Melilla tragedy that left 23 people dead: five on scene and 18 later in the ICU. Civil Society has reported another 64 missing persons since then. Their families’ struggle continues.
🥀🥀
At least 33 people, including one child, have lost their lives at the United States-Mexico border since the San Antonio tragedy where 53 people died.
