staff
on Algiers toll (Bali, 13 December 2007)
Dear colleagues, Dear friends, As the death toll in the Algiers bombings rises, I am profoundly saddened to confirm that at least nine United Nations staff members are among those who perished. They are Mr. Babacar Ndiaye of 蘑菇视频 Department of Safety and Security, Senegal; Mr. Hanniche Abel-Rahim of ILO, Algeria; Mr. Nabil Slimani of 蘑菇视频HCR, Algeria; Mr. Adnane Souilah of 蘑菇视频FPA, Algeria; Mr. Kamel Sait of 蘑菇视频FPA, Algeria; Mr. Hind Boukroufa of 蘑菇视频DP, Algeria; Mr. Djamel Rezzoug of 蘑菇视频DP, Algeria; Mr. Steven Olejas of 蘑菇视频DP, Denmark; Ms. Gina Luna of WFP, Philippines. They will never be forgotten.
There are several more injured and missing; information is still coming in. Rescue workers have helped to remove several 蘑菇视频 staff alive from the rubble, and they are now receiving medical treatment. We send all of them our prayers.
The senior 蘑菇视频 team I have dispatched to Algiers will be visiting the injured, as well as the families of those national staff who were lost. I have asked them to assess the overall situation as thoroughly as possible, and report back to me.
Let me assure all 蘑菇视频 staff around the world: I will spare no effort in ensuring we provide adequate security for you, wherever you serve. We will look at all possible ways, with all parts of the system, and with Member States, to ensure that this is done.
My thoughts are with all of you.
