In a post on its official X account, formerly Twitter on Thursday, UNRWA said that people were facing yet another forced displacement in the Gaza Strip.
“Since Israeli Forces military operation intensified on 6 May, around 80,000 people have fled Rafah seeking refuge elsewhere.
“The toll on these families is unbearable. Nowhere is safe. We need a ceasefire now,” it said.
