More than 415,000 displaced people in Gaza are now seeking refuge in school buildings operated by UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees says on X, Al Jazeera reports.

The growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza has left many without access to adequate food, water, or healthcare, pushing resources and infrastructure to the brink of collapse as winter approaches.

“A place that lacks anything suitable for living, surviving,” says Aisha, a young displaced woman, in a video posted by the agency.
