Unrwa: Tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians living in unsafe buildings

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (Unrwa) on Thursday said that tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians are living in severely damaged and unsafe buildings. 

The UN agency said that most of its facilities in Gaza City have “sustained heavy damage” from two years of Israeli attacks. 

"Many other facilities that Palestinians are taking shelter in across the Strip are also severely damaged and unsafe,” Unrwa said.

“Returning families also face the risk of unexploded ordnance,” it warned.

Unrwa on Tuesday said that around 75,000 displaced people are sheltering in more than 100 agency buildings in Gaza, most of which are overcrowded.

“For many displaced women and girls, daily life means coping without dignity, safety, or adequate hygiene. Limited access to healthcare and basic hygiene supplies makes each day a struggle,” the agency said in a social media post.
