UNITED NATIONS: A former Indian Army officer, who had joined one of the UN agencies three weeks ago, was killed in war-torn Rafah in Gaza, becoming the “first international casualty” for the world body since the Israel-Hamas conflict started last year.
The United Nations has called for a full investigation while Israel has ordered a separate investigation into the attack.
Col Waibhav Anil Kale, 46, who took premature retirement from the Indian Army in 2022, joined the UN as a Security Coordination Officer in the United Nations Department of Safety and Security (DSS) recently, officials in New Delhi said on Tuesday.
