The United Nations said: “The number of displaced people who arrived in the city of Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip has reached about one million, since the start of the occupation’s aggression on the seventh of last October.”

The United Nations added in its daily humanitarian report that “Rafah Governorate has now become the main refuge for displaced people, with more than a million people living in a very crowded area, following the intensification of hostilities in Khan Yunis and Deir al-Balah, and evacuation orders issued by the Israeli army.”

By the end of 2023, according to UNRWA, the number of displaced people in Gaza is estimated at 1.9 million people, or approximately 85% of the total population of the Strip, including some who have been displaced multiple times, as families are forced to frequently move in the Strip in search of safety. .

Nearly 1.4 million displaced people live in 155 UNRWA facilities in all five governorates.

On the other hand, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights reaffirmed that there is no safe space in Gaza.

“We cannot talk about safety anywhere,” she said in a statement. “People are sleeping on the streets in the open, and some of them were not even able to follow evacuation orders.”
