The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) announced on Thursday that Israel had forcibly displaced 250,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip during August, by issuing 12 evacuation orders.

UNRWA said in a post on its account on the X platform that "Israeli evacuation orders in Gaza during August reached 12 orders, which caused the forced displacement of about 250,000 people."

The UN agency warned that "the people of Gaza are now trapped in a cycle of repeated forced displacement as families continue to flee amid military operations and the scorching summer heat."
