Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

“This Was Not an Accident”: U.N. Condemns Deadly Israeli Attack on U.N. Facility

HeadlineMar 20, 2025

The United Nations has condemned the Israeli killing of one its workers Wednesday. Five others were wounded, several severely, in the airstrike on a U.N. building in Deir al-Balah. U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres called for a full investigation. U.N. official Jorge Moreira da Silva said the U.N. compound is located in a deconflicted zone “well known by the Israeli Defense Forces.”

Jorge Moreira da Silva: “In my opinion, this was not an accident. It cannot be categorized as an accident. It is at least an incident. What is happening in Gaza is unconscionable. I’m shocked. I am shocked and devastated by this tragic news.”
