Anthony Lake is the Executive Director of UNICEF. This statement is in response to yesterday's attack on the UN Compound in Mazar-e-Sharif, Afghanistan.
Like all of you, I was horrified by the killing of our UN colleagues yesterday in Mazar-e-Sharif, Afghanistan. I join with the Secretary General and all people of conscience in condemning these outrageous attacks against those whose lives were dedicated to helping the people of Afghanistan.

All of us -- at UNICEF and across the UN family -- are bound together by our common mission. Today, we are joined in mourning.
Our most heartfelt prayers are with those who died, and our deepest sympathy goes out to the families of all the victims of this despicable violence.
