Ramallah, November 30 (RHC)-- According to the UN Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA, over 1.8 million people across the Gaza Strip are experiencing "high levels" of acute food insecurity, including around 133,000 people facing 'catastrophic' food insecurity, with acute malnutrition ten times higher than before the war.
The United Nations affirms that at least 1.9 million people (or nine in ten people) across the Strip are internally displaced, including people who have been repeatedly displaced.
Since October 2023, only about 11 percent of the Palestinian enclave has not been placed under Israeli-issued evacuation orders, the UN aid coordination office OCHA said.
In related news, nearly 100 Palestinians have been reported killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza over the past 24 hours, including 75 killed in air strikes on two homes in the northern town of Beit Lahiya.
Israel’s genocide in Gaza has killed at least 44,363 Palestinians and wounded 105,070 since October 7, 2023. At least 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks that day, and more than 200 were taken captive.
In Lebanon, at least 3,961 people have been killed and 16,520 wounded in Israeli attacks since the war on Gaza began.
