UN humanitarian chief, Martin Griffiths, has announced that a second convoy of trucks carrying much-needed humanitarian aid has successfully entered the Gaza Strip. This comes a day after the initial 20 aid trucks crossed the Rafah border between Egypt and Gaza. The UN under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs shared this news on his social media platform, X.
Meanwhile, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, known as UNRWA, has reported that 29 of its staff members have tragically lost their lives since the outbreak of the conflict between Hamas and Israel earlier this month. UNRWA expressed shock and deep mourning over this devastating loss, particularly highlighting that half of the casualties were teachers.
