The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has released a map revealing that 65 per cent of Gaza’s territory is now either Israeli military “no go” zones or subject to forced displacement orders, Al Jazeera reports.

As well as removing Gaza’s population from two-thirds of the enclave’s territory, all border crossings with the besieged Strip have been blockaded for more than a month by Israel’s military.

The blockade has prevented the flow of food, medicines, clean water, fuel and other essential supplies into Gaza.

“Nowhere is safe” in Gaza, OCHA adds alongside the map, which was posted to social media.
