UN Deputy Spokesperson Daniela Gross De Almeida said Israeli strikes in Gaza affected about 290 households over the past week, displacing residents and destroying property. The UN and partner humanitarian agencies are providing support to people who lost shelters or were displaced again.
Reported Attacks
UN Deputy Spokesperson Daniela Gross De Almeida told reporters at UN headquarters in New York that more than a dozen reported incidents in Gaza affected about 290 households in the past week. Residents were displaced and lost property as a result of the attacks, she said. The UN and partner humanitarian agencies are working to support people who lost shelters or were displaced again.
House Fires and Barriers
Two house fires broke out because Israeli restrictions limited access to proper energy sources, forcing residents to use primitive household appliances, according to Almeida. Five displaced Palestinian households lost their homes due to new yellow cement blocks placed by Israel in Gaza. The fires and barriers added to displacement from more than a dozen reported attack incidents during the week.
Humanitarian Response
The UN and partner aid organizations are providing support for families who lost shelters or were displaced again. Assistance targets those affected by attacks, house fires and other incidents. No total casualty figure was given in the UN briefing.
What's Next
The UN is expected to continue monitoring displacement figures in Gaza as humanitarian operations proceed under Israeli restrictions. It remains unclear whether shelter losses will rise further amid continued attacks and limited access to safe energy sources.
