NEW YORK: As many as 136 UN workers have been killed in the last 75 days in the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza, while several employees of the world body have been forced out of their homes, the United Nations Secretary General, Antonio Guterrres has said.
Guterres said that no one has ever seen such number of casualties of the UN staff in the history of the world organisation.
“136 of our colleagues in Gaza have been killed in 75 days–something we have never seen in UN history. Most of our staff have been forced from their homes,” the UN Chief wrote in a post on X.
“I pay tribute to them and the thousands of aid workers risking their lives as they support civilians in Gaza,” he added.
