UNITED NATIONS – UNRWA on Wednesday reported that a strike in Deir Al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip has led to death of at least one staff member.

“We can confirm that an UNRWA vehicle has been hit in Deir Al-Balah,” a spokesperson confirmed. “So far, we have reports one UNRWA staff member was killed.”

UNRWA said that over 48,000 people in Gaza have been killed during the resulting Israeli offensive, including 230 UNRWA staff members, other humanitarian workers and journalists.

UNRWA 6 staff members were among 34 people killed in September when two Israeli airstrikes hit a school-turned-shelter in Gaza.
