Gaza: UN says 'nearly 450,000' people displaced in Rafah since May 6

The United Nations agency for Palestine refugees (Unrwa) announced today that “almost 450,000” people in Rafah have been displaced since Israel ordered on May 6 to evacuate part of the town in the southern Gaza Strip. “Nearly 450,000 people have been forcibly displaced from Rafah since May 6,” who “are exhausted, hungry and constantly afraid,” Unrwa wrote on social media platform X, without specifying where those displaced have gone, in other parts of Rafah or outside the city, which is home to 1.4 million people according to the UN. Since May 6, the Israeli military has ordered residents of several neighborhoods in eastern Rafah to leave, before launching shelling and “targeted operations” on the ground there. Source: RES
