UN Secretary-General António Guterres announced that 136 UN personnel were killed on duty in the Gaza Strip past year, including 80 staff members working for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East.
Guterres said the deaths in Gaza represent the highest loss of UN personnel in a single war or disaster in the organization's history.
Some staff members were killed alongside their families in homes or shelters, while others died while performing humanitarian work.
