Gaza: The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has voiced strong condemnation over what it describes as the collective punishment of Palestinians. The agency highlighted that the majority of Gaza's population comprises civilian children, women, and men who are enduring immense suffering.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, UNRWA expressed its concerns via Twitter, emphasizing that no justification exists for the collective punishment being imposed on the Palestinian people. The agency has called for an immediate ceasefire to alleviate the humanitarian crisis.
UNRWA is currently operating 115 shelters throughout the Gaza Strip, providing refuge to over 90,000 displaced individuals. The humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate due to ongoing bombings and a blockade that restricts the entry of essential humanitarian aid and commercial supplies.
The United Nations has reported that approximately 420,000 people have been displaced once again since the Israeli occupation government resumed its aggression on the Gaza Strip on March 18.
