Gaza - Saba:
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said that 1.9 million people in the Gaza Strip live without shelter, and it is likely that reconstruction will take years following the genocide committed by the Zionist enemy.
The UN agency added in a statement on Friday that at least 1.9 million people were displaced in Gaza due to the war, and many of them were forced to live in temporary shelters, such as those in the Mawasi area southwest of the Gaza Strip.
It stated that most homes were either completely destroyed or became uninhabitable, and explained that rebuilding the infrastructure, returning to normal life, and addressing the shock in the Strip will take years.
The UN agency also expressed its "concern about the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, especially in the north of the Strip."
The organization also indicated that "as soon as the ceasefire came into effect, UNRWA teams worked non-stop to start distributing food aid in northern Gaza."
It pointed out that hundreds of thousands of Palestinians living in the rubble left by months of intense Zionist bombing are in "urgent need of life-saving assistance."
UNRWA called for the need to continue its work to provide humanitarian assistance of this magnitude.
