UN: 142,000 people displaced again in Gaza

The United Nations announced that 124,000 people were displaced again after Israel resumed its attacks on the Gaza Strip and issued "evacuation orders."


This was stated by UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric at his daily press conference.


Dujarric explained that the ongoing Israeli airstrikes, "evacuation orders," and continued withholding of humanitarian aid have exacerbated the situation in the Strip.


"Everything in Gaza is about to end. Time, life, materials, everything is running out," he added.


He pointed out that the resumption of Israeli attacks on Gaza has displaced 142,000 people, and that "evacuation orders" have covered 17 percent of the Strip.


He stated that Israel does not allow the passage of UN humanitarian aid and constantly places obstacles to prevent it from reaching those in need.


On March 1, 2025, the first phase of a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement between Hamas and Israel ended. The agreement, which went into effect on January 19, 2025, was brokered by Egypt and Qatar and supported by the United States.


While Hamas has adhered to the terms of the first phase, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court, has reneged on the start of the second phase, in deference to extremists in his ruling coalition, according to Hebrew media.


Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with US support, has been committing genocidal crimes in Gaza, leaving a total of more than 164,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 14,000 missing.


Israel has been blockading Gaza for the 18th year, leaving approximately 1.5 million of its 2.4 million Palestinian citizens homeless after their homes were destroyed in the war of extermination. The Strip has entered the first stages of famine due to Tel Aviv's closure of the crossings to humanitarian aid.
