Unrwa staff member killed in Israeli strike on Gaza

A Unrwa staff member was killed in an Israeli attack in Deir el-Balah in central Gaza, Unrwa spokesperson Juliette Touma told Al Jazeera.

The vehicle hit was clearly marked with Unrwa insignia, she said, and the agency is working to confirm if another staff member also died in the attack.  

As of October 13, 228 Unrwa staff members have been killed in Gaza since last year.
