UN Reports Significant Displacement in Gaza Amid Ongoing Military Operations
Over 142,000 people displaced in Gaza in one week due to renewed Israeli military actions, with humanitarian aid supplies diminishing.
The United Nations reported on Wednesday that the ongoing Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip have resulted in the displacement of approximately 142,000 people within just one week.
This alarming figure highlights the scale of the humanitarian crisis, as the UN spokesperson emphasized that around 90 percent of Gaza's population has experienced displacement at least once since the onset of conflict on October 7, 2023. According to the UN, currently, approximately 17 percent of Gaza is under displacement orders.
The spokesperson also noted that the space available for displaced families is becoming increasingly limited.
Moreover, he conveyed that each round of displacement deprives thousands of individuals not only of their shelter but also of critical access to necessities including food, potable water, and healthcare services.
The stark description of the situation included references to the relentless bombardments, daily displacement orders, and restrictions on aid, which collectively exert a devastating impact on the population exceeding two million inhabitants.
Humanitarian partners have expressed grave concerns regarding the growing shortages of medical supplies, cooking gas, and fuel essential for running bakeries and ambulances.
The UN's warnings reflect the urgent and escalating needs of the affected communities amid the continuing violence.
