UNRWA: The occupation has forcibly displaced about 80,000 Palestinians from Rafah within three days

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees UNRWA announced that the Israeli occupation’s plan to invade the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip led to the forcible displacement of about 80,000 Palestinians within three days.

According to Wafa Agency, the UNRWA said today on the “X” platform: “Since the intensification of the military operation by the Israeli forces on the sixth of this month, about 80,000 people have fled Rafah, seeking refuge in other places,” explaining that the Palestinians in Gaza Strip “face another forced displacement.”

UNRWA stressed that “the losses suffered by these families are unbearable, and there is no safe place,” reiterating its call for an immediate ceasefire.

Yesterday, the Director of UNRWA Affairs in Gaza Strip, Scott Anderson, confirmed that the agency had not received any aid or fuel through the Rafah crossing, and the Director of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, warned that the amount of fuel in hospitals in the south of the Strip is only sufficient for three days.
