The UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, says 193 of its staff have been killed since the war between Israel and Hamas began on October 7.
“Despite this, our colleagues keep working to support families and provide aid amid the dire humanitarian crisis.”
The agency added that it works in the most challenging circumstances and that its facilities continue to be targeted.
Israel has repeatedly accused Hamas and other militant groups of embedding themselves amid the civilian population, and it has also denied targeting civilian infrastructure.
