About 100,000 Palestinians killed, wounded or missing in Gaza: UNRWA chief
The commissioner-general of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has said that nearly five percent of the Gaza Strip’s population has been either killed or wounded – or gone missing. “In 4 months of war, around 100,000 people in Gaza were killed, injured or are currently missing,” Philippe Lazzarini said in a post on X.
More than 80 percent of the 2.3 million population has been displaced, most of them several times over, he added. “A ceasefire is overdue, a different trajectory is needed for the sake of people in Gaza, in Israel, elsewhere in the region and beyond,” he said.

This represents nearly 5 % of the population. You can easily figure out what this would means in your city or country….

Displaced Palestinians lack all essential non-food items: UN
The UN humanitarian agency OCHA says families inside and outside shelters in Rafah and Khan Younis in southern Gaza are in need of 50,000 cold weather tents, 200,000 bedding sets, 200,000 sealing kits, 200,000 winter clothing kits and timber for shelters.
“One of the challenges that displaced people face is the lack of hand tools to prepare the location of their tents and to protect them from rain and floods,” the agency said as Israeli prevents hand tools from entering the besieged enclave.
