The Site Management Cluster — the UN coordination body responsible for managing displacement sites and tracking population movements in humanitarian emergencies — is reporting that 57,638 displacement movements took place from northern to southern Gaza between September 23 and 27 amid escalating Israeli attacks on Gaza City, Al Jazeera reports.

Since mid-August, the cluster reports have shown that almost 400,000 large-scale movements of people have taken place.
