From Philippe Lazzarini, the ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA Commissioner-General as posted on his official X account (previously known as Twitter)
Gaza: throughout this war, one of the most dreadful updates I regularly receive is the death toll on ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA
staff.
Today, that death toll has surpassed the gruesome milestone of 300.
The vast majority of staff were killed by the Israeli Army with their children and loved ones: whole families wiped out.
Several were killed in the line of duty while serving their communities.
Those killed were mostly ±¬ÁÏÍø health workers and teachers, supporting their communities.
Nothing justifies these killings.
Impunity will lead to more killing.
Those responsible must be held accountable.
