UN chief slams Israel over ‘totally unacceptable’ Gaza strike in which 6 UNRWA staffers killed
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says that Israeli airstrikes targeting Hamas operatives at a school-turned-shelter in Gaza killed six staffers from the UN Palestinian refugee agency, following an earlier announcement from UNRWA.
“What’s happening in Gaza is totally unacceptable,” Guterres says in a post on social media platform X. “Six of our @UNRWA colleagues are among those killed.”
UNRWA called it the highest death toll among its staff in a single incident.
“This school has been hit five times since the war began. It is home to around 12,000 displaced people, mainly women and children,” UNRWA separately posted on X.
