The UN’s humanitarian agency (OCHA) says the death of a Palestinian aid worker who was wounded in an Israeli air attack on a World Food Programme (WFP) warehouse on January 5 has taken the number of humanitarian workers killed in Israel’s bombardment on Gaza to 369, Al Jazeera reports.
The figure includes 263 UNRWA staff.
OCHA, in its weekly update on Gaza, noted that Israeli forces also fired 16 bullets at a clearly marked WFP convoy on January 5, although no injuries were reported.
It also highlighted a statement from Doctors Without Borders, known by its French acronym MSF, in which the group said eight of its staff had been killed in the Israeli war. But MSF said it is “yet to receive accountability or admission of responsibility for the killing, maiming, or dehumanisation of [its] staff and patients”.
