Eleven employees of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) have been killed in the Gaza Strip since Saturday, the agency said in a statement on Wednesday.
"They included five teachers at UNRWA schools, one gynecologist, one engineer, one psychological counselor and three support staff," said the statement. "Some were killed in their homes with their families. UNRWA mourns this loss and is grieving with our colleagues and the families."
Juliette Touma, director of Media and Communication at the UNRWA, told the UN News that UNWRA was forced to decrease its operations on the ground in the Gaza Strip since Saturday.
But many staff were still working, responding to the needs of the people in the shelters, she added.
