GAZA, (PIC)
The UNRWA said in a statement on X that 193 of its employees were killed in Gaza Strip since the Israeli war on the enclave in October last year.
“Gaza is the most dangerous place in the world for aid workers. Since the war began, 193 UNRWA colleagues have been killed – the highest death toll in UN history,” it added on Monday.
The UN agency underlined that its facilities are being targeted and civilians taking refuge in them are bombed, adding, “We operate in the most challenging circumstances to provide shelters for hundreds of thousands of people who have been forced to leave their homes.”
It called for investigation into the violations against its facilities and staffers, pointing out that “UNRWA is the backbone of the humanitarian response in Gaza.”
