The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) announced on Sunday that more than 300 people were killed in Israeli bombing operations that targeted 180 of its facilities in the Gaza Strip, some of them with direct strikes.

This came in an interview conducted by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) with Juliette Touma, Director of Media and Communications at the UN agency, and the latter published its content on the “X” platform.

Touma added, "About 1.4 million Palestinians who were displaced due to Israeli raids live in UNRWA facilities throughout Gaza."

“Our facilities have become completely full, so people have started sleeping rough,” she stressed.

In a separate blog post, the UN agency said: “While the world is crowded with New Year’s celebrations, the streets of the southern Gaza Strip are crowded with displaced people.”

Since October 7, the Israeli army has been waging a devastating war on Gaza, which as of Sunday left 21,822 dead, 56,451 wounded, massive infrastructure destruction and an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe, according to the Gaza Strip authorities and the United Nations.
