136 of our colleagues in Gaza have been killed in 75 days – something we have never seen in United Nations history.
Most of our staff have been forced from their homes.
I pay tribute to them & the thousands of aid workers risking their lives as they support civilians in Gaza.

Their learning & mental health depend on it.
