United in Remembrance

In a world marked by turmoil, the United Nations Country Team in Bhutan stands united in its commitment to peace, justice, and the well-being of all. A recent gathering at the UN House in Bhutan echoed these sentiments, as the team came together to pay tribute to the #UNRWA staff who tragically lost their lives in the conflict-ridden region of Gaza.

The solemn event not only honored the memory of the fallen UNRWA heroes but also served as a poignant reminder that civilians should never be exploited as human shields. The global UN community joined hands in solidarity, acknowledging the gravity of the situation and the imperative need for lasting peace.

The toll has reached a heartbreaking 101 UNRWA staff lost in Gaza, a stark reality that compels the international community to act with urgency and empathy. For over a month, the resilient people of Gaza have endured unprecedented hardships – besieged, denied aid, lives lost, and homes destroyed by relentless bombings.

More than [100] UN colleagues, aid workers of historical significance, have made the ultimate sacrifice in their quest to bring relief to those in need. Their legacy serves as a testament to the unwavering dedication of the humanitarian community.

As the world grapples with the consequences of this protracted conflict, the call for peace echoes louder than ever. It is a call that transcends borders and ideologies, urging nations to prioritize the sanctity of civilians and the inviolability of UN facilities.
