On Friday, the spokesperson revealed that the number of casualties among UNRWA employees surpasses the officially declared figure. This discrepancy is attributed to individuals trapped beneath the rubble left by Israeli aggression, Al-Mamlaka TV reported.

He emphasized the critical situation in the Gaza Strip, primarily due to the challenges in clearing debris. Since October 7, 85 facilities affiliated with UNRWA have suffered both direct and indirect damage.
