UN: Another wave of displacement is underway in Gaza

The Gaza Strip is witnessing another wave of displacement amid intensifying Israeli air strikes in the south and north, the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa) has said. 

The UN said earlier this week that up to 1.8 million Palestinians in Gaza, around 80 percent of the population, have already been forcibly displaced.

"Another wave of displacement is underway in Gaza - the situation is getting worse each minute," Unrwa said on Wednesday. 

"There is no 'safe' zone, the entire Gaza Strip has become one of the most dangerous places in the world."

"There is nowhere to go as shelters, including Unrwa's, are overflowing."
