Let’s at least get the number right. It’s about 10 employees. I’ve seen numbers between 8 and 12. The UN has already fired most (or all) of the employees, with one being confirmed dead.
According to CBS, the UNRWA has about 13,000 workers in Gaza, so it’s no where near 10%. And they’re at a count of 12 workers, so roughly 0.1% of their workers.
Yes, this looks bad and is justifiably causing some backlash. But you’re not going to hire 13,000 workers in Gaza without some of them being sympathetic to Hamas.
What is really needed is for the UN or some slightly more independent group (independence is something sorely lacking in this area, so plenty of folks on both side are not going to be fully satisfied), and get back to the job of providing humanitarian aid to the residents of Gaza.
