GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) estimated that approximately 400,000 people have been displaced within the Gaza Strip following the collapse of the recent ceasefire, amid ongoing Israeli aggression and deteriorating humanitarian conditions.
UNRWA announced in a post on the platform X that the displaced individuals are suffering from the longest period of interruption in humanitarian aid since the beginning of the war, noting that access to them has become exceedingly difficult due to military operations and the blockade.
UNRWA reiterated its call for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the necessity of ensuring the unobstructed flow of aid to meet the basic needs of civilians in displacement zones and shelters.
The genocidal war resumed by Israel against the Gaza Strip continues into its 26th day following a breach of the ceasefire agreement. The occupation forces have committed further acts of genocide and massacres against civilians, the displaced, and Palestinian families, raising the death toll since March 18 to 1,522 civilians, while 3,834 others have been injured with varying degrees of severity.
According to official Palestinian data released by the Ministry of Health, 50,886 civilian citizens have been martyred, and 115,857 others have been injured, including those with serious and critical injuries, since October 7, 2023.
On March 2, Israel closed the crossings of the Gaza Strip to the entry of humanitarian, relief, and medical aid, leading to an unprecedented deterioration in humanitarian conditions, as confirmed by local governmental and human rights reports.
Human rights, governmental, and UN institutions have previously warned about the repercussions of the continued tightening of the Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip, leading Palestinians to a state of acute hunger.
