Nine out of 10 Palestinians in Gaza displaced at least once, UN says

At least nine out of 10 Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip have been displaced once by Israel’s offensive, the UN said.

Andrea De Domenico, head of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, told journalists at a press conference on Wednesday that Israel’s offensive had sparked an unprecedented forced displacement.

 “At the moment, we estimated that nine out of every 10 people in the Gaza Strip had been internally displaced at least once, if not up to 10 times, unfortunately, since October,” he said.
