UN: More than 80% of Gaza Strip's population is displaced

According to the United Nations Relief and Works Organization for Palestine Outcasts in the Near East (UNRWA), more than 1.9 million people, or more than 80% of the Gaza Strip's population, have been displaced.

"Almost 1.9 million people (or more than 80% of the population) have been evicted across the Gaza Strip since 7 October," it stated, adding that 60,000 Gaza residents sought shelter at UNRWA facilities between November 30 and December 2.

"Since December 2, approximately 1.2 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) are taking refuge in 156 UNRWA facilities in the five governorates of the Gaza Strip, including the north and Gaza City," according to a press release.

"Nearly one million IDPs have been accommodated in 99 offices in Center, Khan Yunis, and Rafah districts.

" The organization claims that each of its facilities can hold up to 10,300 people, which is four times its maximum capacity, TASS reported.

On October 7, Israel declared war on the Gaza Strip after the Palestinian resistance group Hamas began Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against Israeli occupation troops in retaliation for increasing crimes against the Palestinian people.

Since the beginning of the conflict, the Israeli government has killed at least 16,000 Palestinians, predominantly women and children, injured 41,316, and devastated most of Gaza.
