"Gaza is the most dangerous place in the world for humanitarian workers," says UN

The United Nations agency for Palestine refugees reports that since the outbreak of war between Israel and Hamas on October 7, 193 of its staff members have been killed. "Gaza is the most dangerous place in the world for humanitarian workers. Since the onset of the war, 193 UN staff members have lost their lives, marking the highest number of casualties in the UN's history," the agency stated in a message on Twitter.

Despite this, our partners continue to work to support families and provide aid in the context of a severe humanitarian crisis.

Israel has repeatedly accused Hamas and other militant groups of using civilians as shields and has denied targeting civilian infrastructure.
