UN unveils number of aid workers killed in Palestine-Israel conflict

United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) has released a report on colleagues who have been killed since the beginning of the Palestine-Israel hostilities.

In total, 102 UNRWA colleagues have been killed since the beginning of the hostilities. This is the highest number of United Nations aid workers killed in a conflict in the history of the United Nations, Caliber.Az reports, citing the agency.  

“Two internally displaced persons were injured due to shrapnel that fell inside a UNRWA school after a building near the school was hit in the Middle area," the document says.

Almost 1.6 million people have been displaced across the Gaza Strip since October 7.

Nearly 795,500 internally displaced persons (IDPs) are now sheltering in 154 UNRWA installations across all five governorates of the Gaza Strip, including in the north.
