UN: The catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza Strip is deteriorating due to waves of displacement, collapse of infrastructure

Geneva,(ST)- The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) warned that the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza Strip is deteriorating due to the ongoing Israeli aggression, repeated waves of displacement, the collapse of infrastructure and limited services.

WAFA News Agency reported that the office said in a statement that according to humanitarian workers in Gaza, the latest Israeli evacuation order issued last Saturday affected about 13,500 displaced people in 18 locations in the Maghazi camp area and several neighborhoods in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza Strip.

The office warned that the continued aggression, evacuation orders and severe shortage of essential materials make it more difficult for displaced families to obtain basic services in the locations they reach.

The office indicated that since last October, about 86 percent of the area of ​​ Gaza Strip has been under evacuation orders from the Israeli occupation army, and most of the residents are increasingly concentrated in an area designated by the occupation in Al-Mawasi, where the population density in this area has increased to between 33 and 34 thousand people per square kilometer compared to about two hundred people before last October.
