An abyss of suffering: 80% of Gazans now displaced: UN humanitarian coordinator
The UN humanitarian coordinator for Gaza reported that 1.9 million people, or 80% of the territory's population, are now displaced, with new evacuation orders in Khan Yunis causing further concern. The UN estimates up to 250,000 people are affected by the Israeli military's order to leave several localities near Khan Yunis. The humanitarian situation is dire, with insufficient aid reaching Gaza and calls for reopening crossings, particularly the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt, to prevent disaster.
