UNRWA head seeks investigation into killing of staff in Gaza war

Discussions are under way for a U.N. investigation into the killing ‌of more than 390 employees in the two-year Gaza war, the head of the U.N. Palestinian refugee agency said on Tuesday, making it the deadliest conflict in the global body‘s history.

„I believe that we need to ​have a panel – a high-level panel of experts to look into the killing ​of our staff,“ said Philippe Lazzarini, UNRWA Commissioner-General at a press conference ⁠in Geneva on the last day of his term.
