The number of casualties among UN and NGO humanitarian staff in the Gaza Strip is approaching 300.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said this at a UN Security Council meeting on the situation in the Middle East, TASS writes.
“This is the biggest single loss for the UN in modern history,” Lavrov emphasised.
Earlier, Lavrov said a frank conversation was needed to stop bloodshed in the Middle East and a long-term settlement in the region.
