UN: The number of displaced people in Gaza since March has exceeded 796,000.

The United Nations announced that the number of displaced Palestinians in the Gaza Strip due to Israeli attacks has exceeded 796,000 people since mid-March. This figure reflects the catastrophic humanitarian situation that the residents of Gaza are suffering under the weight of ongoing aggression.

Just last week, the United Nations recorded about 17,000 new cases of displacement, indicating a worsening humanitarian crisis. The Deputy Spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General, Daniela Gross, confirmed that forced displacement is significantly increasing due to repeated attacks.

95% of forced displacement cases occur in Gaza City, where residents flee from the eastern neighborhoods to the southern and western areas to escape random shelling. This mass displacement reflects the increasing danger faced by civilians amid the escalation of aggression.

Since August 11, the Israeli occupation army has been launching a wide-scale attack on the Al-Zeitoun neighborhood in Gaza, using harsh methods such as demolishing homes with explosive robots, in addition to artillery shelling and random gunfire.

On August 8, the occupation government approved Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plan to fully reoccupy the Gaza Strip, raising concerns about the future of Palestinians in the region.

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs noted in its report that 88% of the area of the Gaza Strip is subject to Israeli evacuation orders, which means forced displacement of the Palestinian population.

Since October 7, 2023, the occupying state has been committing genocide in Gaza, including killing, starvation, and destruction, ignoring international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice.

The genocide has resulted in more than 62,000 martyrs and 157,000 injured, most of whom are children and women, in addition to thousands of missing persons and famine that has claimed the lives of many civilians.
