UNRWA staff in Gaza gave Blinken an update on the “overwhelming humanitarian needs” in Gaza in a video conference on Saturday.
In a post on X, UNRWA said that its staff gave the update on the agency’s relief efforts “as needs grow by the hour”.
The call came as at least 72 UNRWA staff members have been killed in Gaza since October 7.
“We extend our heartfelt condolences to the families of the loved ones of the many UNRWA workers who lost their lives aiding civilians in the ongoing crisis,” Blinken said in a post on X after the call.
