The Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, said that at least 400,000 people are trapped in the northern Gaza Strip, and Israeli evacuation orders are forcing people to flee repeatedly, especially from Jabalia camp.


He revealed that some of the agency's shelter and service centers were forced to close for the first time since the beginning of the war.
The Commissioner-General of UNRWA continued, "The continued bombing threatens the implementation of the second phase of the polio vaccination campaign in the Gaza Strip."
