The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said that it documented the displacement of about 629,000 Palestinian citizens to 150 of its shelters in the Gaza Strip, after their homes were subjected to continuous Israeli bombing of the Strip for the 21st day in a row.
UNRWA said in a report today, Friday, that the displaced are living in very difficult humanitarian conditions, especially since the shelter centers have begun to accommodate three times their capacity, noting that one shelter center in the city of Rafah has 12,500 displaced people, most of whom are children and women.
It explained that 39 UNRWA employees were martyred in the Israeli bombing operations on the Gaza Strip, noting that 38,000 patients currently residing in shelter centers are in urgent need of treatment.
