Unrwa: 65,000 Palestinians still in Rafah

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency, Unrwa, estimates that around 65,000 displaced Palestinians are still in Rafah, southern Gaza.

"Currently… Unrwa estimates that 65,000 people remain in Rafah. This is in stark contrast to six weeks ago, when Rafah hosted 1.4 million displaced people before the Israeli evacuation orders and military operation,” said Farhan Haq, the UN secretary-general deputy spokesperson.

He adds that Palestinians continue to be displaced amid active fighting and bombardment.
