Over 10,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s attacks on Gaza since October 7th.
According to Al Jazeera at least 10,022 Palestinians have been killed, as heavy bombardment continues across Gaza.
18 United Nations and other humanitarian organizations have issued a statement calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire.
There have also been several cases of acute respiratory infections, diarrhea and chicken pox reported among people taking refuge at UNRWA shelters, says the UN agency.
About 1.5 million people in Gaza are internally displaced (IDPs). Of them, some 717,000 are sheltering in 149 UNRWA facilities, 122,000 in hospitals, churches, and public buildings, 110,000 people in 89 non-UNRWA schools, and the remainder are residing with host families.
Overcrowding remains a major concern. Many IDPs are seeking safety by sleeping in the streets, near UNRWA premises.
