Key points

Gaza

• A further 13 UNRWA staff have been confirmed killed, bringing the total to 29 staff killed since 7 October.

• At least 20 IDPs were injured when a strike hit a building adjacent to an UNRWA school where about 5,000 IDPs were sheltering. Since the beginning of the conflict, nearly 180 IDPs sheltering at UNRWA schools have been injured and 12 killed.

• On 21 October, the Rafah crossing with Egypt opened for the first time since 8 October, allowing the entry of 20 trucks carrying food, water and medical supplies. UNRWA continues to call for a safe, unconditional and unimpeded humanitarian corridor to bring critical aid to the people of Gaza.
