NEW YORK July 4. 2024 (Saba) - The United Nations has confirmed that about nine out of ten people in the Gaza Strip have been displaced at least once since the start of the Zionist aggression on the Gaza Strip, warning that the aggression against Gaza continues to create "more pain and suffering."
The Director of the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in the occupied Palestinian territories, Andrea Di Domenico, said that about 1.9 million people are believed to be displaced in Gaza, and that nine tenths of them "have been internally displaced at least once, if not up to ten times, unfortunately," since the seventh of last October.
Di Domenico said the United Nations estimated that between 300,000 and 350,000 people are still in northern Gaza and unable to move to the south.
He explained that those who were displaced in the past two days are not necessarily added to the number of displaced people, because many of them are already displaced.
These people, who were displaced, have dreams and hopes, and they are diminishing little by little as the aggression against the Gaza Strip continues, Di Domenico said.
Since the start of the aggression, an estimated 110,000 people have been able to leave the Gaza Strip to Egypt, before the Rafah crossing was closed in early May, and some of them remained in Egypt and others moved to other countries, the UN official added.
Several days ago, 250,000 people were forced to flee from the city of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, even though there is no safe place, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said.
