UN Reports: “Over 338,000 Palestinians Displaced Amid Ongoing Conflict”

Ongoing conflicts between Israel and Palestine have caused extensive destruction in residential areas in Gaza. More than a thousand homes were destroyed, and over 12,600 were severely damaged according to United Nations data. The number of displaced Palestinians increased by 30 percent within 24 hours, reaching 338,934 people, with most finding temporary shelter in UNRWA schools. Israel’s actions, including cutting off electricity, water, and supplies, have left over 650,000 people in Gaza facing a water shortage. The situation has been labeled a war crime by human rights organizations. Hospitals and health centers in Gaza continue to operate, but they face challenges due to medical supply shortages and prolonged power outages. Some facilities have been rendered inoperative due to Israeli attacks.
