GAZA: The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has documented in a report that the Israeli forces killed about 429 displaced Palestinians inside UN buildings in the Gaza Strip.

Those killed have been taking refuge from the ongoing Israeli bombardments of the besieged enclave since October 7, and this led to major destruction inside the shelter centers of the agency.

UNRWA confirmed that 368 of its facilities had been targeted by Israeli forces since the beginning of the aggression.

It pointed out that the humanitarian situation in the city of Rafah is catastrophic, with the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to the western part of the city, known as the Al-Mawasi area, where now more than half a million displaced people are taking shelter.
