Five percent of Gaza has faced death, injury or separation, says Unrwa chief

Philippe Lazzarini, commissioner general of Unrwa, said the four months of war in Gaza has had an "unimaginable toll" on the enclave's civilian population.

"Already 5% of Gaza's population has suffered death, injury, or separation," Lazzarini said.

In addition to the more than 28,000 Palestinians killed by Israel, another 17,000 children have been separated from their parents.

"Urgent action is crucial to halt this deepening humanitarian disaster," the Unrwa chief said.
