90 percent of Gaza's population displaced: UN
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that ninety percent of Gaza's residents have been displaced as a result of Israel's war.
"Mass evacuations in Gaza choke survival and severely constrain aid operations," Muhannad Hadi, Humanitarian Coordinator for the Occupied Palestinian Territory, was quoted saying in OCHA's post on X.
Thousands of Palestinians have now fled areas of Deir al-Balah previously designated as "humanitarian zones" due to increased Israeli military operations there.
In 10 months of war, Israeli evacuation orders have displaced 90% of #Gaza’s residents.
