"UNRWA Mourns Record Death Toll in Gaza Conflict as Over 100 Employees Killed"

The United Nations Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA) has reported that over 100 UN employees have been killed since the start of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, making it the deadliest conflict for the UN in such a short period of time. The casualties include parents, teachers, nurses, doctors, and support staff. The UN will observe a global minute of silence and fly flags at half-mast to honor the fallen employees. Israel blames Hamas for civilian deaths, accusing the group of using the population as human shields and hiding weapons around hospitals. The ongoing conflict in South Sudan and the insurgency in Nigeria have been the next deadliest conflicts for UN aid workers.
