Over 123,000 Palestinians have been displaced in Gaza, according to the UN
Gaza is home to 2.3 million Palestinians, who have lived under a crippling Israeli blockade imposed after Hamas took power in 2007.
According to the United Nations, over 123,000 Palestinians have been displaced in the Gaza Strip since the confrontation between Palestinian terrorists and Israel began.
“Over 123,538 people have been internally displaced in Gaza, primarily due to fear, safety concerns, and home destruction,” according to the UN’s humanitarian office, OCHA.
More than 73,000 are sheltering in schools, OCHA said, some of which have been designated emergency shelters.
Israel has launched hundreds of strikes on Gaza since Saturday, when Hamas militants launched deadly attacks in Israel and fired thousands of rockets at the country.
Adnan Abu Hasna, a spokesman for the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, said he expected the numbers to rise further.
“There’s electricity in these schools, we provide them with a meal, clean water, psychological support and medical treatment,” he told AFP.
