UNRWA Commissioner: 400,000 Palestinians are besieged in the northern Gaza Strip
The Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, said that at least 400,000 people are trapped in the northern Gaza Strip, and Israeli evacuation orders are forcing people to flee repeatedly, especially from Jabalia camp.
Lazzarini said that a large number of Palestinians refuse to evacuate, because they realize that there is no safe place in the Gaza Strip, pointing to the spread and worsening of famine throughout the Strip, with the lack of basic supplies.
He revealed that some of the agency's shelter and service centers were forced to close for the first time since the beginning of the war.
The Commissioner-General of UNRWA continued, 'The continued bombing threatens the implementation of the second phase of the polio vaccination campaign in the Gaza Strip.'
