The latest report by the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) says 86.1 per cent of the Gaza Strip now falls within Israeli militarised zones or forced evacuation orders, Al Jazeera reports.

Four displacement orders were issued by the Israeli army between July 2 and July 8, including three affecting a total of 37 UNRWA installations that assist displaced Palestinians.

“At least 188 UNRWA installations — or over half of all UNRWA installations in the Gaza Strip — are located within the Israeli militarised zone, under displacement orders, or where these overlap,” the report stated.

The UN estimates that more than 725,000 people have been displaced yet again since Israel violated the ceasefire agreement with Hamas in mid-March. Most have been displaced several times, some more than 10 times.
