THE United Nations said today that one of its staff was killed and another five wounded in the Gaza Strip.

The attack in the central city of Deir al-Balah follows Israel’s decision to unilaterally end the ceasefire agreement with Hamas with a series of brutal air strikes that have killed at least 436 Palestinians, mostly women and children.

The Gaza Health Ministry said at least 183 children and 94 women have been killed since the strikes began early on Tuesday.
