142,000 Palestinians Displaced in Israeli War on Gaza

United Nations says resumption of Israeli war in Gaza has displaced 142,000 people in a mere seven days, warning of dwindling stocks of humanitarian aid.

Spokesman for Secretary-General Antonio Guterres pointed out that about 90 percent of Gaza’s population has been displaced at least once between the start of war on October 7 and January this year.

Stephane Dujarric
said the space available for families is “shrinking,” adding that displacement orders currently cover some 17 percent of Gaza.

He said with each wave of displacement, thousands of people “lose shelter, access to essentials such as food, drinking water and health care,”

Dujarric says “relentless bombardments and daily displacement orders” coupled with blocks on aid “are having a devastating impact on the entire population of more than two million people.
