End of May in #Gaza: 🛑 More than 1 million people - most displaced several times- forced to flee once again, in search of safety that they never find. 🛑All of our 36 @UNRWA shelters in #Rafah are empty now. This is where people seek shelter & should be protected at all times under the UN flag. 🛑 @UNRWA had to stop health and other critical services in Rafah. 🛑 We are however committed to stay and deliver for the communities. We are now working from Khan Younis + the middle areas where 1.7 million people are living. 🛑 In Khan Younis, we restarted operations despite damage to all our facilities. 🛑The humanitarian space continues to further shrink: @UNRWA was allowed to pick up just under 450 trucks in the past 3 weeks in support of the humanitarian operation. This is nothing in the face of the needs: at least 600 trucks/ day of commercial, fuel & humanitarian supplies. 🛑Fuel is running short: our teams are standing by to pick it up when the Israeli Authorities give the green light. 🛑 Meanwhile, we received the most horrific photos from the Jabalia Refugee camp in northern #Gaza 👇Thousands of displaced people have no choice but to live amid the rubble & in destroyed @UNRWA facilities. Destruction will bring more destruction, more grief, more anger & more loss to Palestinians & Israelis. All eyes are on the proposal to reach an end to this war through a ceasefire, the release of all hostages + substantial & safe flow of urgently needed supplies into Gaza.
