Largest displacement of Palestinians since 1948
UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini commented on on Sunday the Israeli war on the besieged Gaza Strip crossing the 100-day mark saying, "The massive death, destruction, displacement, hunger, loss, and grief of the last 100 days are staining our shared humanity."
"In the past 100 days, sustained bombardment across the Gaza Strip caused the mass displacement of a population that is in a state of flux - constantly uprooted and forced to leave overnight, only to move to places which are just as unsafe. This has been the largest displacement of the Palestinian people since 1948," he added.
According to Lazzarini's statement, "Overcrowded and unsanitary UNRWA shelters have now become 'home' to more than 1.4 million people. They lack everything, from food to hygiene to privacy. People live in inhumane conditions, where diseases are spreading, including among children. They live through the unlivable, with the clock ticking fast towards famine."
He stressed that the war in Gaza is a man-made catastrophe exacerbated by dehumanizing rhetoric and the manipulation of essential resources such as food, water, and fuel as tools of war. The humanitarian effort has swiftly evolved into one of the most intricate and demanding globally, primarily due to intricate protocols for aid entry into the Gaza Strip and numerous challenges hindering aid's safe and organized distribution, including persistent hostilities.
