    BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) — One of the three Palestinians killed in an Israeli raid in the occupied West Bank early Monday was an employee of the UN’s Palestine refugee agency, a spokesman said.

    Chris Gunness said that the employee, who he did not identify by name, was shot dead by Israeli forces and killed instantly in an operation in Qalandia refugee camp at about 7 a.m.

    He cited reports that the 34-year-old father of four was on his way to work and not involved in violent activity.

    “UNRWA condemns the killing of its staff member and calls on all sides, at this delicate time, to exercise maximum restraint and to act in accordance with obligations under international law,” Gunness said.

    He said the agency was conducting an investigation into the killing.

      26 August 2013 – The UN agency tasked with assisting Palestinian refugees today called for restraint from all parties after receiving confirmation that one of its staff members was shot and killed by Israeli forces this morning.

      In a statement, the UN relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) said the staff member was killed instantly in an operation in the Kalandia refugee camp in the Occupied West Bank.

      “Credible reports say that he was on his way to work and was not engaged in any violent activity. He was shot in the chest,” UNRWA spokesperson Chris Gunness said of the 34-year-old staff member who lost his life.

      “Another UNRWA staff member, a sanitation labourer, was shot in the leg during the same operation and is in a stable condition. An UNRWA investigation is ongoing.”

      Three people in total were killed during the operation, and about 20 injured, some of them seriously.

      UNRWA condemned the killing and called on all sides to “exercise maximum restraint and to act in accordance with obligations under international law.”

      Il faudrait que l’UNRWA nous explique comment un de ses employés , mort , fera preuve de retenue.

    • Après les Israéliens qui tuent, le communiqué qui tue : Le même que ci-dessus mais en en français

      Selon l’UNRWA, l’homme se rendait sur son lieu de travail et ne s’était pas rendu coupable d’une action violente. Il a été touché à la poitrine. Un autre membre du personnel de l’UNRWA, un ouvrier spécialisé dans l’assainissement, a été blessé à la jambe au cours de la même opération et est dans un état stable. Une enquête UNRWA est en cours.

      L’UNRWA appelle à la « retenue de toutes les partie », expression assez scandaleuse dans ces circonstances, mais cela dit, l’UNRWA utilise aussi le mot « meurtre » dans son communiqué officiel, ce qui n’est pas du tout habituel. Un meurtre st un homicide volontaire, il suppose une volonté de tuer. Quand on sait comment l’ONU écrit ses communiqué, en choisissant très soigneusement son vocabulaire, l’utilisation de ce terme n’est pas un hasard malencontreux.

      Qui dit « meurtre » dit « assassins ». Que l’UNWRA traitent les Israéliens d’assassins n’est pas tout à fait dans la normalité du discours des agences onusiennes.
