The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) says at least 539 displaced Palestinians have been killed in its facilities in Gaza since October 7.

In its regular situation report, that number only runs through July 14, so it does not include the killing of 23 people at UNRWA’s Al-Razi School in Nuseirat.

UNRWA said at least 1,708 people have been wounded in its facilities during that period.

At least 73 more were wounded in today’s attack, according to Gaza’s Government Media Office.
