UN agencies have sounded the alarm over worsening conditions in Gaza, where over 130,000 people have been displaced in seven weeks amid ongoing hostilities. 🕊️ Families in northern Gaza now burn trash for cooking fuel due to shortages, while food prices have skyrocketed by 1,000% compared to pre-conflict levels, according to the World Food Programme (WFP).
Breadlines and Broken Shelters
With bakeries struggling to stay open, bread—often the only accessible food—remains a lifeline. Meanwhile, 1 million people face winter without proper shelter, with thousands crammed into damaged buildings or makeshift tents. 💔
Southern Gaza Floods Add to Crisis
Heavy rains flooded coastal shelters in Al-Qarara this week, forcing hundreds to relocate to Khan Younis. In the West Bank, nine Palestinians, including a child, were killed during clashes with Israeli forces.
UN Relief Chief Philippe Lazzarini urged immediate aid delivery: \"Every delay costs lives.\" 🌾🛑
