"Israel's Aggression in Gaza Leaves Nearly 90% of Population Displaced, UN Agencies Report"
According to UN agencies and aid groups, the recent aggression launched by Israel against the besieged territory has resulted in the displacement of almost two million people, accounting for nearly 90% of the population. Since October 7, 2023, the situation has escalated, causing widespread suffering and upheaval in the region.
In response to the escalating hostilities, UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees) released a video encapsulating 100 days of conflict in Gaza within 100 seconds. The video aimed to highlight the intensity and devastation experienced by the Palestinian people during this period.
Philippe Lazzarini, the chief of UNRWA, strongly condemned Israel's onslaught on the besieged Palestinian territory, labeling it a stain on humanity. His remarks reflect the urgent need for international attention and action to address the dire situation faced by the affected population.
Palestinian Ministry Condemns Israeli Occupation's Devastating Impact on Gaza, 100 Days of Uninhabitable Conditions and Forced Displacement
In a statement issued on Sunday, the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates expressed grave concern over the dire situation in Gaza, highlighting the significant toll of the last 100 days under Israeli occupation. The statement emphasized that Gaza has become an uninhabitable place, witnessing immense death, destruction, displacement, hunger, loss, and grief. Approximately 2 million people have been forcibly displaced as a result of the Israeli occupation's horrific crimes.
The ministry also took the opportunity to reflect on the historical context, recalling the events of May 15, 1948, when Israeli forces forcibly evicted around 750,000 Palestinians from their land. These displaced individuals sought refuge primarily in the occupied West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and neighboring states. Shockingly, even today, almost 5 million Palestinians remain displaced and are denied the right to return to their homeland.
Israeli Bombing Campaign in Gaza Causes Widespread Destruction and Loss of Life
In a devastating series of attacks since early October, the Israeli military has reportedly killed nearly 24,000 individuals in Gaza. The relentless bombing campaign has left the civilian infrastructure in ruins, causing extensive damage throughout the region.
Recent statistics reveal the alarming extent of destruction, with approximately 100 schools and universities, as well as over 140 mosques, completely destroyed in the Gaza Strip. Additionally, more than 80 hospitals and health centers are currently out of service, exacerbating the already dire humanitarian situation.
