At least 400,000 people are trapped in northern Gaza, UNRWA’s chief Philippe Lazzarini has said, as the Israeli army has issued new evacuation orders for residents in the area.
“Israeli Authorities are forcing people to flee again & again, especially from Jabalia Camp. Many are refusing because they know too well that no place anywhere in Gaza is safe,” Lazzarini said on X.
The UN agency’s shelters and services are being forced to shut down, some of them for the first time since the start of the conflict, Lazzarini said.
“With almost no basic supplies available, hunger is spreading & deepening again,” he said, adding that recent military operations are also threatening a polio vaccination campaign for children.
