More than 300 United Nations staff members have been killed in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, as a result of the ongoing Israeli war, according to UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk.
"According to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, more than 200,000 Palestinians have been killed or injured since 7 October – some ten percent of the entire population. And we can never forget that more than 300 of our own colleagues have been killed by Israel’s military action," Turk stated on Sunday.
Turk warns of escalating Gaza humanitarian crisis
Turk further emphasized that since May, over 1,000 Palestinians have been killed while attempting to access food for themselves and their families.
