No end to hell for 400,000 Palestinians trapped in north Gaza, says Unrwa chief
There is no end to hell in northern Gaza where at least 400,000 Palestinians are trapped, Unrwa chief said, amid a fresh Israeli ground and aerial assault in the area.
"Recent evacuation orders from the Israeli Authorities are forcing people to flee again & again, especially from Jabalia Camp," said Philippe Lazzarini, the commissioner-general of Unrwa, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees.
The new intense Israeli assault, which started on Saturday, has forced Unrwa shelters and services to shut, some for the first time since the war started over a year ago, Lazzarini added on X.
However, many people refusing to leave their homes, knowing there is no safe place in Gaza to flee to.
"With almost no basic supplies available, hunger is spreading & deepening again," Lazzarini warned.
