UN says aid workers at risk in Gaza

Stephane Dujarric, spokesperson for the UN's secretary-general, has raised the alarm on the risk faced by UN aid workers in Gaza.

Dujarric said that on "Wednesday and again yesterday, a total of five strikes hit a few hundred metres from where air aid workers go. This included a UN staffer.

"Thankfully, none of the workers were injured," he added.

"Also yesterday, members of the Red Cross and Red Crescent societies were shot at and injured on their way to help a colleague who had been injured and unreachable since last Friday.

"In all cases, the movements have been coordinated with the Israeli authorities."

The UN has said it lost 126 of its personnel in Gaza in 2024.
