United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) has released an update on the current situation in the occupied West Bank and Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

“The large-scale Israeli military operation that started in Jenin refugee camp on January 21 and continues, with operations in Nur Shams camp in Tulkarem, has killed more than 50 Palestinians as of March 9, including eight children,” the UN agency said in a post on X.

It added that more than 35,000 Palestinians have been displaced by the operation and that no supplies have entered Gaza since March 2, when the Israeli authorities announced a halt to humanitarian aid.
