20,000 Forced To Flee Jabalya Camp Amid Intense Fighting

Displaced Palestinians, who fled their houses due to Israeli strikes amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, take shelter tent camps, in Rafah

Amid intense fighting in northern Gaza, a further 20,000 people were forced to flee Jabalya camp on Friday, seeking refuge in United Nations shelters. Philippe Lazzarini, Commissioner-General of the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), highlighted the dire situation, stating that people have lost everything and are in urgent need of essentials such as food, water, blankets, and mattresses.

Despite a small delivery of flour into Gaza City this week, the supplies remain insufficient to meet the escalating needs of the population. Only a limited number of bakeries have been able to increase bread production for distribution to those seeking shelter in UNRWA facilities.
