Nearly 200 aid workers killed since October in occupied Palestine: UN

The UN said Tuesday that "at least 196 humanitarian workers have been killed since October” in the Gaza Strip following the recent killings of aid workers. 

Describing the Palestinian territory as "one of the world's most dangerous and difficult place to work" as a humanitarian aid worker, UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric at a news conference reaffirmed that all attacks against health care workers and militarization of hospitals are "unacceptable."

He stressed that hospitals need to be protected for civilians to receive the life-saving aid they may need.
