UN: About 90% of Gaza's population displaced since last October
The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights said on Thursday that nearly 90% of the population of the Gaza Strip have been displaced since October 2023.
In a post on the X platform, the Commission explained that there is no safe place in the sector at the moment.
She added that the people of Gaza were pushed into a narrow area that is only one-tenth of the area of the Strip.
Since October 7, Israel, the occupying power, has been waging a war of extermination on the Gaza Strip, leaving more than 133,000 dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing, amid massive destruction and deadly famine.
In contempt of the international community, Israel continues the war, ignoring the UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate halt, and the International Court of Justice’s orders to take measures to prevent genocide and improve the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza.
