The United Nations Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) reported that 142 of its workers in the Gaza Strip died in Israel’s attacks.
Most of the workers of that UN agency died in Gaza along with their families, UNRWA said through its official X account, in a publication accompanied by a photo with a child standing in the center of the scene and the devastation around them.
“In this dark time, it is difficult to wish those celebrating a ‘Merry Christmas,’ with the continued loss, grief and destruction,” says the UNRWA post.

“Our teams are doing everything possible to help those in need. We mourn the loss of more UNRWA colleagues killed in Gaza, now 142, most with their families,” the publication ends.
