United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) reported on Friday that nearly 400,000 people in the Gaza Strip have been displaced under direct Israeli bombardment following the collapse of the ceasefire agreement.
UNRWA said that the displaced in Gaza are suffering from the longest period of disruption to aid and commercial supplies since the beginning of the war, referring to the occupation’s closure of the Gaza Strip’s crossings for more than 40 consecutive days.
It called for a renewal of the ceasefire in Gaza, the release of the abductees, and ensuring the unimpeded flow of humanitarian aid.

With American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, leaving more than 160,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 14,000 missing
