A former senior UN food agency official has alleged(声称，指控) he was fired last week for his work highlighting hunger in Gaza, and has launched an appeal(提出上诉) against his dismissal.
一名前联合国粮食机构高级官员声称，他上周因揭露加沙饥饿问题的工作而被解雇，并已针对解雇提出上诉。
Benjamin Davis said the leadership of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) had refused to renew his contract as director of its rural transformation and gender equality division because his team had published a brief on hunger in Gaza and held a seminar on the subject last year, and because he had taken part in weekly “moment of silence” vigils on FAO grounds for those killed.(本杰明·戴维斯表示，粮农组织领导层拒绝续签他作为农村转型和性别平等司司长的合同，原因是他团队去年发布了加沙饥饿简报并举办研讨会，还因为他参加了在粮农组织场地内为遇难者举行的每周默哀守夜。)

The seminar on hunger in Gaza last September triggered(引发，触发) a complaint from the Israeli mission(代表团，使团) to the FAO, which also sent a diplomat(外交官) to take pictures(拍照) of staff taking part a moment of silence gathering last October, according to(根据) a FAO staff report filed(提交，归档) at the time.
据当时提交的一份粮农组织工作人员报告，去年9月关于加沙饥饿问题的研讨会引发了以色列驻粮农组织代表团的投诉，该代表团还于去年10月派出一名外交官，拍摄参加默哀集会的员工。
