UN says 714,000 displaced in Gaza since Israel broke ceasefire in March
Since Israel broke the last ceasefire agreement in March, approximately 714,000 people have been forcibly displaced across Gaza, including nearly 29,000 in just 24 hours between Sunday and Monday, according to UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric.
Speaking at a news conference, Dujarric also addressed recent accusations by the Gaza Health Foundation (GHF), which claimed the UN was obstructing aid operations.
He rejected the claim, saying “the UN does not have a monopoly on aid. All we ask is that [GHF] operate with minimum standards” including “impartiality”, so Palestinians “are not put at risk of being shot at”.
The comments come amid criticism from rights groups who have accused GHF of luring Palestinians to aid distribution sites where Israeli soldiers regularly open fire.
