News Center- “9 in every 10 people have been forcibly displaced in the Gaza Strip” the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) said Friday on social platform X.

Calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza again, the UNRWA said, “Families seek shelter where they can: overcrowded schools, destroyed buildings, makeshift tents on the sand or amid piles of trash. None of these places are safe. People have nowhere left to go.”

Up to 1.9 million people (or nine in ten people) across the Gaza Strip are internally displaced, including people who have been repeatedly displaced (some up to 10 times), according to the UN.
