Rifa became the most densely populated area of Gaza
The UN agency for humanitarian coordination warned about the population explosion in parts of the Gaza Strip where refugees have taken refuge. |
According to the report of the Fars News Agency International Group, at the same time as the Zionist regime’s attacks intensified in different areas of Gaza, the United Nations warned about the increasing density of the Palestinian displaced population in different parts of this strip.
In the latest update, the United Nations Humanitarian Coordination Agency announced that following the escalation of conflicts in Khan Yunis and Deir al-Balah and the threat of the Zionist regime to evacuate these cities, at least 100,000 people IDPs have recently entered Rafah in the southernmost part of the Gaza Strip.
The Humanitarian Coordination Agency says that Rafah was densely populated before this, with 12,000 people per square kilometer.
The United Nations also quoted the World Health Organization as providing statistics on the spread of various diseases in Gaza as a result of the frequent displacement of displaced persons, especially after the mass homelessness of the past weeks.
According to the UN agency, nearly 180,000 people living in shelters suffer from upper respiratory tract infections. 136,400 cases of diarrhea have been reported, more than half of which are related to children under 5 years old. 55,400 cases of lice and scabies and 42,700 cases of skin rashes, as well as outbreaks of jaundice and meningitis have also been reported. It exacerbates internal displacement and increases the spread of disease.
The Zionist regime’s disregard for civilians in its attacks on the Gaza Strip is facing severe criticism in the international community.
Francesca Albanese, the UN human rights representative in the occupied Palestinian territories, said that Israel does not value the lives of the people of Gaza under the pretext of destroying Hamas.
According to Al-Mayadeen website, he said: Israel has killed more than 20,000 people in Gaza under the pretext of destroying Hamas; Why does Israel pay no attention to the lives of the Palestinians?
This UN official further described the actions and behavior of the Zionist regime towards the Palestinians, especially in Gaza, as the barbarity of the century and by addressing Western countries said: The West’s silence regarding what is happening to the Palestinians has reached the stage of accompanying [Israel].
