- The figure of 'more than 1,000' refers specifically to a three-year period from 2023 to 2025, not a cumulative total over all time or a single year.
- The majority of these deaths (over 560) occurred in Gaza and the West Bank, with significant numbers also in Sudan (130) and South Sudan (60).
- The claim does not specify the time frame, which is crucial context for understanding the severity of the recent escalation in attacks on humanitarian workers.
