The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) announced that 124,000 people have been displaced from the Gaza Strip in recent days due to ongoing Israeli bombardment, calling for an end to the blockade imposed on the Strip.

UNRWA said in a post on its X platform on Monday evening that "124,000 people were forced to flee the ongoing bombardment, carrying with them few of their belongings, without shelter or safety, and with nowhere to turn."

It added that the Israeli occupation authorities have cut off all humanitarian aid, leading to a severe food shortage and rising prices, describing the situation in the Gaza Strip as a "humanitarian tragedy."

This comes after the Israeli occupation resumed its airstrikes on the Gaza Strip early Tuesday morning, in violation of the ceasefire agreement reached on December 19 with Egyptian, Qatari, and American mediation.
