Gaza Strip Humanitarian Crisis Deepens: Over 80% Displaced, UNRWA Staff Casualties Rise

In a stark update on the Gaza Strip crisis, the UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) revealed that nearly 1.9 million people, constituting over 80% of the population, have been displaced since October 7. The alarming announcement came on Monday, highlighting the severe humanitarian impact of the aggression.

As of December 2, the toll on UNRWA personnel reached a tragic milestone, with 111 staffers losing their lives since the commencement of the war. The agency’s statement shed light on the dire situation, emphasising the devastating consequences of the ongoing genocide.

Despite a weeklong humanitarian pause, the Israeli army resumed bombing the Gaza Strip, further exacerbating the crisis. The death toll from Israeli attacks has now surged to a staggering 15,899 since the aggression began on October 7, according to the Health Ministry in the besieged Palestinian enclave. Additionally, the number of wounded individuals during this period has risen to 41,316.

The situation took a distressing turn early in the aggression when Israel directed Palestinians in northern Gaza to relocate to the southern strip, suggesting increased safety. However, this mass displacement, warned to be a potential humanitarian catastrophe, has not shielded the population. Israel’s subsequent targeting of the southern strip has led observers to assert that nowhere in the Gaza Strip is currently deemed safe.

As the war wages, the international community faces growing calls for urgent intervention to address the escalating humanitarian crisis and provide aid to those affected by the displacement and violence in the region.
