Unrwa shelters displaced Palestinians as Israel intensifies attacks

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (Unrwa) said thousands of displaced Palestinians have sought safety in its schools, which have been turned into makeshift shelters amid Israel’s relentless bombardment of Gaza.

The agency stressed that despite severe shortages and constant Israeli attacks, it remains the backbone of humanitarian efforts in the besieged enclave. Unrwa vowed to continue providing aid and protection to civilians enduring what it described as catastrophic conditions even as the US and Israel have demanded that it not play a role in post war Gaza.
