🚨 A foreign UN worker was killed and five others injured after an airstrike struck their headquarters in central Gaza's Deir al-Balah on Wednesday, according to local health authorities. The victims were rushed to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital amid intensifying violence following the collapse of a week-long ceasefire.
💥 The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) denied responsibility, stating they did not target the UN compound. Meanwhile, Gaza officials report over 400 deaths since Israel resumed strikes early Tuesday, reigniting tensions in a conflict that has now claimed thousands of lives.
🕊️ This escalation shatters hopes for lasting peace after a January 19 ceasefire briefly paused hostilities. UN agencies and global leaders are urging de-escalation, but no new truce negotiations have been announced.
🌍 Humanitarian groups warn of catastrophic conditions in Gaza, with medical facilities overwhelmed. The UN's presence in the region—now directly impacted—raises urgent questions about civilian safety and international law.
