GAZA, (PIC)
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) announced that Israeli bombing operations have targeted 180 of its facilities in the Gaza Strip, killing more than 300 people. Some of the UNRWA’s facilities were directly struck.
This came in an interview conducted by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) with Juliette Touma, Director of Media and Communications at the UN agency, and was published on “X” platform on Monday.
Touma said that “About 1.4 million Palestinians, who were displaced due to Israeli raids, live in UNRWA facilities throughout Gaza.”
“Our facilities have become completely full, so people have started sleeping outside,” she pointed out.
Touma said on X: “1.4 million people in Gaza are sheltering in UNRWA facilities and many more in the vicinity, sleeping outdoors.”
In a separate statement on X, the UN agency said that “while the world is crowded with New Year’s celebrations, the streets of southern Gaza are crowded with displaced people.”
