UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told CNN on Sunday that a total of 101 UN employees have passed away since the beginning of the war on Gaza.

"[We have lost] 101 [of UN employees] as of today," Guterres said, adding that the number of casualties among UN staffers was growing every day.

The IOF says it told all residents and NGO staffers to move to the southern part of Gaza, but it never ruled out the option of bombing the South.

"At no stage have we said that we are not going to strike in southern Gaza. There may be cases where we will strike military targets of importance in Gaza … [We said] only that we are focusing our main combat activity, our main operations in the north. I think it is very clear, very evident for everybody watching," spokesperson Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus said on Saturday.

On November 10, Gilad Erdan, "Israel's" Permanent Representative to the United Nations justified the killing of UN staffers by saying "Many UNRWA workers in Gaza are themselves members of Hamas. The time has come to bust the myth of UN-supplied facts."
