The United Nations is cutting its international staff in Gaza by around a third, a UN spokesperson said on Tuesday, citing safety concerns. “We are trying to reduce the number of international staff by about one third and this is really because the Secretary General (Antonio Guterres) doesn’t have the power of guaranteeing the safety of UN staff,” UN spokeswoman Alessandra Vellucci told a Geneva press briefing, saying that this meant the withdrawal of around 30 of 100 international staff.
