Mon Mar 24 18:38:58 UTC 2025: ## UN Scales Back Gaza Operations After Deadly Attack
**GAZA CITY** – The United Nations announced it will significantly reduce its presence in Gaza following Israel’s ongoing offensive and a deadly attack on a UN facility. Approximately one-third of the UN’s 100 international staff members will be withdrawn.
The decision comes after an Israeli tank was confirmed as the source of an attack last week that killed one UN staff member and wounded six others. A UN spokesperson identified the tank as responsible for the shelling of the UN facility.
The reduced footprint will inevitably impact the UN’s humanitarian operations in the besieged territory, already grappling with widespread destruction and a humanitarian crisis. The extent of the impact on aid delivery remains unclear.
