UN Reduces Gaza Operations After Deadly Strike on Compound

The United Nations cites safety concerns in scaling back its presence but pledges continued humanitarian aid to Gaza's civilians.

The United Nations has announced a reduction in its operational footprint in Gaza following a March 19 strike on its compound that killed one staff member and injured five others.
The UN attributes the strike to an Israeli tank, based on available information, while Israel denies responsibility for the explosion.
The decision comes after the deaths of five staff members from the UN's Palestinian relief agency during the ongoing conflict.
Despite the reduced presence, the UN remains committed to delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza's population, which faces severe shortages of essential supplies.
Details on how the reduction will impact UN operations in Gaza have not been disclosed, but officials stress that the organization is not leaving the region.
