More than 300 United Nations staff members have been killed in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, as a result of the ongoing Israeli war, according to UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk.

"According to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, more than 200,000 Palestinians have been killed or injured since 7 October – some ten percent of the entire population. And we can never forget that more than 300 of our own colleagues have been killed by Israel’s military action," Turk stated on Sunday.

Turk warns of escalating Gaza humanitarian crisis

Turk further emphasized that since May, over 1,000 Palestinians have been killed while attempting to access food for themselves and their families.

He criticized the current aid efforts, saying, "Chaotic, militarized distribution centres run by the US- and Israeli-supported Gaza Humanitarian Foundation are failing utterly to deliver humanitarian aid at the scope and scale needed."

According to the Gaza Health Ministry, massacres at the so-called "aid sites" resume unabated, with hospitals receiving the bodies of 11 starved aid seekers and more than 36 injuries over the past 24 hours. The cumulative death toll of the aid massacres has now reached 1,132 martyrs and 7,521 injuries.

Malnutrition soars among children and mothers

On Wednesday, the World Health Organization reported a steep increase in malnutrition-related deaths in Gaza. This includes 21 confirmed deaths of children under the age of five in 2025 alone. Acute malnutrition now affects more than 10% of the population, while over 20% of pregnant and breastfeeding women suffer from moderate to severe malnutrition, according to WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

Ghebreyesus highlighted that the worsening hunger crisis is directly linked to the halt of humanitarian supplies and persistent restrictions on their delivery.

Over the past 24 hours, hospitals in the Gaza Strip have reported six new deaths from famine and malnutrition, including two children. This brings the total number of deaths linked to hunger and malnutrition in Gaza to 133, among them 87 children.
