At least 400,000 people trapped by Israel’s latest Gaza offensive!
Hundreds of thousands of civilians in Gaza remain trapped by the latest Israeli offensive centred on #Jabaliya refugee camp, according to UN agencies and human rights groups.
“At least 400,000 people are trapped in the area,” Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the #UN Palestinian refugee agency, #Unrwa, posted on X on Wednesday, amid witness accounts of bodies lying uncollected in the streets because of the renewed fighting.
“Recent evacuation orders from the Israeli authorities are forcing people to flee again & again, especially from Jabaliya camp,” added Lazzarini. “Many are refusing because they know too well that no place anywhere in Gaza is safe.”
The Israeli #military says the large-scale raid, now in its fifth day, is intended to stop #Hamas fighters staging further attacks from Jabaliya and to prevent them regrouping, as at least 60 people were killed in Israeli military strikes on Gaza on Wednesday.
