Israeli's offensive on Gaza is forcing tens of thousands of Palestinians into crowded conditions, UN says

Israel’s offensive on the Gaza Strip has forced Palestinians into every square kilometre of the besieged enclave, the UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees (Unrwa) said.

Unrwa said tens of thousands of Palestinians are sheltering in parts of al-Mawasi in southern Gaza.

Today, around 30,000 people are packed into every square kilometre (0.4sq miles) of the area, whereas “before the war, there were only 1,200 per square kilometre,” Unrwa said.
