The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) says mass displacement continues across Gaza with just 10 per cent of the territory now accessible to civilians, Al Jazeera reports.
“People are being forced to flee again with nowhere safe to go,” UNRWA said, noting many have already been displaced multiple times. It reiterated calls for an urgent ceasefire.
In a separate social media post, the agency warned that the summer heat is worsening Gaza’s water crisis. Wells are becoming inaccessible because of ongoing bombardment and forced evacuation orders, while critical services, including water delivery, are at risk of shutting down amid severe fuel shortages.
Only two trucks of fuel are entering Gaza each day, far below what’s needed. UNRWA says without fuel it cannot deliver water to those in need, and urged an end to Israel’s devastating blockade.
