OCHA: Less than 18% of the Gaza Strip's area is suitable for civilian use.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) confirmed that with the expansion of the Israeli aggression in the Gaza Strip, less than 18% of the Strip's area remains an area where civilians are permitted to live. The rest of the area is either under direct Israeli control or is considered an evacuation zone and is subject to continuous bombardment.

According to the United Nations Information Center, on Monday, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs indicated that displacement continues throughout the Gaza Strip, with approximately 200,000 people displaced in the past two weeks alone.

The United Nations reported that the catastrophic situation in Gaza is the worst since the war began, with continued bombing throughout the Strip, particularly in the north, where the last partially functioning hospital was forced to evacuate.

OCHA stressed that humanitarian services in Gaza are among the most obstructed operations in the modern history of the global humanitarian response anywhere. Since last March, the Israeli authorities have imposed a tight siege on humanitarian aid and goods, allowing in the past two weeks what the United Nations described as "a drop in the ocean of needs" of specific supplies into the Gaza Strip.

The UN and its partners were unable to deliver most of this limited aid to the population due to Israeli restrictions and insecurity, and much of what entered the Strip was looted by desperate residents, often seeking to feed their families.
