The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) announced that around 90 percent of the population in Gaza has been displaced since October 2023.
OHCHR has warned on social media about increasingly intense Israeli attacks on Gaza, Anadolu news agency reports.
They remind that Israel has asked Palestinians living in some parts of Khan Younis, in the south of the Gaza Strip, to move to “humanitarian zones” for the 13th time since August 1.
“As of October 2023, about 90 percent of the population of Gaza has been displaced. They are now pushed to an area of only one-tenth of the Gaza Strip,” it said.
It was also emphasized that no place in Gaza is safe anymore.
Gaza health authorities have reported at least 42 more deaths in Israeli strikes in the past 24 hours, bringing the total killed since October 7 last year to 40,265.
Israel has continued its brutal offensive on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, following an attack by Hamas despite a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire.
More than ten months since the start of Israel’s war, large parts of the Gaza Strip are in ruins amid a humanitarian disaster of the highest proportions as Palestinians lack food, water and medicine.
Israel is facing genocide charges before the International Court of Justice, which ordered a halt to military operations in the southern city of Rafah, where more than a million Palestinians sought refuge before the area was attacked on May 6.
