The UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, said that more than 50 of its staff in Gaza were abused and used as human shields while in Israeli military detention. “Since the start of the war in October 2023, over 50 UNRWA staff, among them teachers, doctors, social workers, have been detained and abused,” UNRWA commissioner general Philippe Lazzarini wrote on X. “They have been treated in the most shocking and inhumane way. They reported being beaten and used as human shields,” he added. Mr Lazzarini referred to the evidence given by one of the staff members detained by the Israeli military.
