Over 423,000 people in Gaza displaced ‘with no safe place to go’: UN

The UN has warned that humanitarian efforts in Gaza are severely constrained as Israeli military operations intensify, with over 423,000 Palestinians displaced yet again, “with no safe place to go”, Anadolu reports.

“The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs warned that humanitarian operations continue to be stifled by severe movement restrictions inside Gaza, as well as [Israeli] military activity and attacks that jeopardise the safety of aid workers and their premises,” said UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric at a news conference.

He noted that “recent strikes have reportedly hit residential buildings, intensifying sheltering displaced people, especially in Rafah and eastern Gaza City.”

As of Tuesday, “our humanitarian partners estimate that more than 423,000 people have been displaced once again with no safe place to go in Gaza.”
