“The head of the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees said Wednesday that at least 400,000 people are trapped in northern Gaza as Israeli forces ramp up their bombardment of the area, killing dozens and intensifying an already nightmarish humanitarian emergency. ‘Northern Gaza: no end to hell,’ Philippe Lazzarini, commissioner-general of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), wrote on social media. ‘Recent evacuation orders from the Israeli authorities are forcing people to flee again and again, especially from Jabalia Camp. Many are refusing because they know too well that no place anywhere in Gaza is safe.’ Lazzarini said some UNRWA shelters and services in northern Gaza have been forced to shut down amid the Israeli assault ‘for the first time since the war began’ over a year ago.” (10/09/24)
