UNRWA head Philippe Lazzarini said that Israeli evacuation orders create “havoc” and “panic” among the population of the Gaza Strip. Currently, only 14 per cent of areas in Gaza are not under the “evacuation orders,” he added.

“Almost everyone in Gaza has been impacted by these orders. Many were forced to flee on average once a month since the war began nine months ago,” Lazzarini said on X on Sunday.

“This evacuation tactic only brings more misery, fear and suffering for people who have nothing to do with this war.”

A man told our UNRWA teams recently that he was forced to flee twice within 10 hours, he added.

Lazzarini said, “People continue to search for safety: the most precious, the most nonexistent.”

“The people of Gaza are not pinballs or chess pieces, they are people,” he underlined.
