The United Nation’s Humanitarian Agency (OCHA) said that the death of a Palestinian aid worker wounded in an Israeli airstrike on a World Food Program (WFP) warehouse on January 5 has taken the death toll number of aid workers killed in Israel’s attacks on Gaza to 369, reports said.
The majority of those (263) killed in these attacks are from the UNRWA.
OCHA, in its weekly update on Gaza, pointed out that Israeli forces also fired 16 bullets at a marked WFP convoy on January 5, although there were no injuries reported from the said attack.
The number of other aid workers killed in Gaza are from World Central Kitchen, along with the International Rescue Committee and Mercy cops.
On November 30, 2024, an Israeli airstrike targeted a car in the Gaza Strip, resulting in the deaths of five individuals, including at least three WCK workers.
It also highlighted a statement from Doctors without Borders, popularly known by its famous French acronym MSF, in which the group reported that eight of its staff had been killed in the Israeli war.
Furthermore, MSF said it is “yet to receive accountability or admission of responsibility for the killing, maiming, or dehumanisation of its staff and patients.”
Meanwhile, the death toll in Gaza has already crossed over 45,885, a major portion of which consists of children and women.
Since October 7, 2023, Hamas has assaulted inside Israel, in which 1163 Israelis lost their lives, while 250 were taken hostage by Hamas.
Multiple efforts of the ceasefire have ended in a deadlock between the Israeli negotiators and Hamas as both sides are trying to press more demands before the much-awaited ceasefire deal is secured to end the conflict.
