80 percent of Gaza Strip now a high risk area: UN

The UN said on Thursday that 80 per cent of the Gaza Strip is now a high risk area where people are forced to flee in search of the basics, especially the lack of safety. “They are trapped with no safe place to go,” head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees Philippe Lazzarini said on X. “In northern Gaza, people remain under a tight siege. They run for their lives in vicious circles and have been deprived of humanitarian aid for more than 40 days now,” he said.
