Space for displaced Palestinians in Gaza ‘shrinking by the day’: UN OCHA

The UN’s humanitarian agency (OCHA) says Israel’s military has designated some 69 percent of Gaza’s land area as “no-go” zones or displacement zones.

“In Gaza, space for people is shrinking by the day,” the agency said in a post on X.

“Vast areas have been taken over. Hundreds of thousands are being pushed into renewed displacement,” it said.

Attempts by aid organisations to reach the affected people have also been denied, it added.
