Over 86 Percent of Gaza under Israeli Forced Displacement Threats: UN
Gaza (Quds News Network)- 86.1 percent of the total area of the Gaza Strip is currently under Israeli forced displacement threats, and people have nowhere to flee, the UN’s agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) said on Saturday. The latest report by the UN agency for Palestinian refugees said 86.1 percent of the Gaza Strip now falls within Israeli militarised zones or forced evacuation orders. Four displacement orders were issued by the Israeli army between July 2 and July 8, including three affecting a total of 37 UNRWA installations that assist displaced Palestinians. “At least 188 UNRWA installations – or over half of all UNRWA installations in the Gaza Strip – are located within the Israeli militarized zone, under displacement orders, or where these overlap,” the report stated. The UN estimated that more than 725,000 people have been displaced yet again since Israel violated the ceasefire agreement in mid-March. Most have been displaced several times, some more than 10 times. Since launching its assault on Gaza, the Israeli military has issued dozens of forced displacement orders to Palestinians in the war-torn enclave amid intense bombardment and months-long blockade on aid.
