Unrwa: 75 percent of Gaza population forcibly displaced

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa) has said that 75 percent of Gaza's population have been forcibly displaced, many of them up to four or five times.

In the latest wave of displacements, over 900,000 people have fled Rafah after Israeli forces ordered residents to evacuate, the UN said on Tuesday.

Also on Tuesday, Unrwa said that the population sheltering in its facilities in Khan Younis alone had surged by 36 percent.

It added that families sheltering there lacked tents, essential services and vital supplies.

"No one is safe in Gaza," the agency said in a post on X.

For thousands of Palestinian families there is nowhere left to go: military operations & bombardments pose a continuous threat, buildings have been turned to rubble. Nowhere is safe in Gaza. pic.twitter.com/u0I5jEtfi2
