Iran (IMNA) - The humanitarian team leader stationed in Gaza, Gemma Connell, described the situation as resembling a "human chessboard," as thousands of Palestinians have been displaced multiple times.
During her visit to Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, Connell witnessed the plight of the displaced Palestinians firsthand. She observed people desperately heading south, cramming their mattresses and belongings into vans, trucks, and cars in a desperate attempt to find a secure place to stay. The lack of available space has exacerbated the already challenging circumstances faced by these vulnerable individuals.
This report from the UN sheds light on the urgent need for immediate action to address the growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, as displaced Palestinians are left in a constant state of insecurity and uncertainty.
Rafah Residents Left Without Clear Refuge as Congestion Worsens
In a concerning development, Connell reports that the extreme congestion in Rafah has left numerous individuals without a secure place to seek shelter. The overcrowding has reached such alarming levels that residents are now uncertain about their next move, reminiscent of a human chessboard where people are constantly being shifted due to evacuation orders.
According to Connell, the situation is dire as people are forced to flee one area only to find themselves in another equally unsafe zone. The lack of adequate space has created a sense of instability and uncertainty among the affected population in Rafah.
Israeli Strikes Spare No Areas in Besieged Gaza Strip, Including Supposed Safe Zones, UN Official Confirms
In a shocking revelation, a UN official has confirmed that Israeli strikes in the besieged Gaza Strip have spared no areas, including those that are not under an evacuation order. The official referred to the tragic death of nine-year-old Ahmed, who lost his life at A-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah, a supposed safe area.
According to Connell, the UN official, Ahmed was not in an area under an evacuation order. He was in a place that was supposed to be safe. This incident highlights the alarming reality that there is no safe place in Gaza.
The war on Gaza was initiated by Israel on October 7, following the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm launched by the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas. The operation was a response to the Israeli regime's decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.
