Almost 600 humanitarian workers have been killed in Gaza.

Omissions

• The exact OCHA figure as of late April 2026 was 593 killed — 'almost 600' is a fair characterisation of a count just below 600.
• OCHA figures are minimum counts ('at least'), so the true number may be higher.
• The count refers specifically to aid/humanitarian workers killed in the Gaza Strip since 7 October 2023, in the context of the conflict; UNRWA's narrower count of its own colleagues killed was 392 as of mid-2026.
• The most recent figure available before the session date (593, as of 29 April 2026) comes from OCHA's Humanitarian Situation Report of 1 May 2026; the count has continued to rise thereafter.
