| [IsraelTime] The United Nations is cutting its international staff in Gaza by around a third, a UN spokesperson said on Tuesday, citing safety concerns. “We are trying to reduce the number of international staff by about one-third and this is really because the Secretary-General (Antonio Guterres) doesn’t have the power of guaranteeing the safety of UN staff,” UN spokesperson Alessandra Vellucci tells a Geneva press briefing, saying that this meant around 30 of 100 international staff. The agencies affected included the World Food Programme, the World Health Organization and the UN children’s agency, she adds. |
