"136 of our colleagues in Gaza have been killed in 75 days--something we have never seen in UN history. Most of our staff have been forced from their homes," the UN Chief wrote in a post on X.

"I pay tribute to them and the thousands of aid workers risking their lives as they support civilians in Gaza," he added.
