UNRWA: 70% of the Gaza Strip regions fall within the Israeli evacuation orders – the seventh day

The director of the media at the United Nations Refugee and Works Agency “UNRWA” in Gaza, Enas Hamdan, said that the word disaster is no longer the real description of the tragedy of the Gaza Strip, in addition to the orders of evacuation and continuous forced displacement in several regions. Noting that the evacuation orders left the Palestinian citizens trapped in an area less than a third of the area of ​​the sector, and those remaining areas are fragmented and unsafe and are almost unable to live.

Hamdan added – in an intervention of Al -Arabiya Al -Hadath news channel – that “approximately 70% of the Gaza Strip area – according to United Nations reports – fall within the evacuation areas and what remains of the area of ​​the sector is a very small part and a large number of residents are accumulated and asked them to go to unsafe places located under the raids and bombing, causing more victims to fall.”

She explained that the areas known as safe areas – knowing that there are no safe areas in the Gaza Strip – most of them are infrastructure and homes destroyed, and the rest of them are greatly damaged and not sufficient to accommodate the number of displaced people who are displaced to them, so we are talking about an unprecedented catastrophe in light of the complete prevention of all relief supplies and a siege applied to the sector.

She pointed out that cutting and preventing the entry of humanitarian supplies, which is a lifeline for organizations working in the humanitarian field, is a major challenge for UNRWA in providing humanitarian services effectively as it is the largest organization that manages the humanitarian response in the sector.

She said that despite all those challenges faced by the agency’s employees due to forced displacement and evacuation areas and continuous bombing, we are still able to provide some vital services such as health services through health centers, where we have 39 medical points that provide medical consultations, pointing to the proximity of medical supplies and we are working with what remains we have and it is expected to run out of that amount within the least of the least.
