    UNRWA schools are open to shelter and assist Palestinians in Gaza fleeing bombardment or who became homeless overnight. UNRWA appeals to all parties to respect the inviolability & neutrality of UNRWA premises to ensure the safety of all those sheltering there.

    As the number of casualties and internally displaced people climbs, they are left to shelter in UNRWA schools, in mosques and other places during a global COVID-19 pandemic with limited access to water, food, hygiene, and health services ().

    Physical infrastructure, including power plants & hospitals, have either been destroyed or disabled by past bombing campaigns, leaving the trapped population virtually resourceless in the midst of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

    This is also the 4th major escalation in hostilities since 2008 on the Gaza Strip. Rates of post-traumatic stress disorder, especially among children, are astronomical.

    The blockade has devastated lives, infrastructure and the economy through the restriction of movement of people and goods. This is exacerbated by the closures and restrictions at the Rafah crossing between Egypt and Israel.

    In the Gaza Strip, where ~70% of the population are Palestine refugees, the latest bombardment is being carried out as the besieged coastal enclave enters the 14th year of a blockade, which may amount to collective punishment contrary to international law.

    This latest escalation of violence & threat of dispossession is part of the ongoing Nakba. Neither the imminent forced evictions of the Sheikh Jarrah residents nor the ongoing airstrikes on Gaza are isolated incidents. More ⬇️
