GAZA CITY
¡°I am very saddened to confirm that 11 UNRWA colleagues have been killed since 7 October in the Gaza Strip.
¡°They included five teachers at UNRWA schools, one gynecologist, one engineer, one psychological counselor and three support staff.
¡°Some were killed in their homes with their families.
¡°UNRWA mourns this loss and is grieving with our colleagues and the families.
¡°UN staff and civilians must be protected at all times during conflict.
