News Center- At least 400,000 people are trapped in northern Gaza, Philippe Lazzarini, the Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), has warned in a post on X.

“Northern Gaza: no end to hell. At least 400,000 people are trapped in the area,” his post on Wednesday said.

‘No place anywhere in Gaza is safe’

“Recent evacuation orders from the Israeli Authorities are forcing people to flee again and again, especially from Jabalia Camp. Many are refusing because they know too well that no place anywhere in Gaza is safe.”

According to the post, UNRWA shelters and services are being forced to shut. “Some for the first time since the war began. With almost no basic supplies available, hunger is spreading and deepening again. This recent military operation also threatens the implementation of the second phase of the polio vaccination campaign for children. Children are as ever, the first and most to suffer. They deserve so much better, they deserve a Ceasefire NOW, they deserve a future.”
