Record Number of Aid Workers Killed in 2024, Mostly in Gaza

In 2024, a record number of aid workers, people who help others in crises, have been killed around the world.

Almost half of these deaths happened in Gaza, where the war between Israel and Hamas is ongoing.

The UN is very concerned and says we need to protect aid workers and civilians caught in conflicts.

Attacks on aid workers are happening more often.

Sadly, many of the attackers are governments or groups associated with them.

The UN wants those in charge to be held responsible for these attacks and to make sure it doesn't happen anymore.
