The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) announced that 92% of Gaza homes have been destroyed or damaged, as families are facing “unimaginable devastation” due to the Israeli war of extermination.
In a post on its official X account on Monday, the UN agency stressed the need to lift the Israeli siege on the Gaza Strip.
This comes as Israeli occupation continues to commit horrific daily crimes, deliberately killing dozens of civilians and wounding many more, in a bloody scene aimed at imposing ethnic cleansing and annihilation, according to the Gaza Government Media Office.
UNRWA said Palestinian families in Gaza are facing “unimaginable devastation” and the Israeli blockade on the Strip must be lifted. It explained that 92 percent of Palestinian homes in Gaza have either been damaged completely or partially destroyed, adding that countless people have been displaced multiple times in conditions of shelter shortages.
In late April, UNRWA Director of Communications Jonathan Fowler warned of the dire situation in Gaza, highlighting in an interview with Anadolu Agency the fact that food supplies in the Strip had run out due to Israel’s closure of all crossings, using food as a weapon in its ongoing war of extermination.
Since March 2, Israeli occupation has continued to close three main Gaza crossings (Karm Abu Salem, Erez, and Zikim) before food, medical supplies, and fuel, exacerbating the risk of famine in the Strip.
