RAMALLAH, Sunday, May 12, 2024 (WAFA) – The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said on Sunday that Israel's claims that there are safe areas in Gaza are "false and misleading."
The Agency's Commissioner General, Philippe Lazzarini, expressed in a post on the X his concern over the ongoing displacement of Palestinians from their homes, noting that there are no safe areas in Gaza.
"The Israeli authorities continue to issue forced displacement orders also known as “evacuation orders”. This is forcing people in #Rafah to flee anywhere and everywhere," Lazzarini said.
"Since the war began, most people in #Gaza have moved multiple times: on average once a month. They desperately sought safety that they never found."
He stressed that Israel's claims that there are safe areas in Gaza are "false and misleading," and that "no place is safe in Gaza."
The Palestinian death toll from Israel's deadly aggression against the Gaza Strip since October 7th, 2023, has now surged to 34,904, medical sources confirmed on Sunday.
