Yesterday listening to people in an UNRWA shelter in Deir al Balah- stories of grief and loss - shocking living conditions - yet an indefatigable will to survive and look after their loved ones - very humbling. #Gaza

Back in #Gaza, endless deepening tragedy. People are everywhere, live in the street, need everything. They plead for safety & for an end to this hell on earth. Our colleagues are asked to do the impossible in what is an impossible situation.

Told JAMES BAYS it is of utmost importance that the members of the United Nations General Assembly realise if UNRWA collapses in #Gaza, the Palestinian community will feel this ad the last betrayal of the International Community. Talk to Al Jazeera aljazeera.com/program/talk-t…

Israeli authorities issued more evacuation orders for people in Middle Area of #Gaza to move to Deir al Balah to expand ongoing military operation. More than 150k people impacted, area already overwhelmed with displaced including @unrwa shelters

People in #Gaza are People. They are not pieces on a checkerboard - many have already been displaced several times. The Israeli Army just orders people to move into areas where there are ongoing airstrikes. No place is safe, nowhere to go. UNRWA

"We remain very concerned that once aid is in📍#Gaza the ongoing conflict is preventing us from delivering that aid" @TomWhiteGaza Al Jazeera English: Same time as the United Nations Security Council, Israeli authorities were telling more people to move & signalling a broadening of the offensive.

#Gaza People forced to move once again. More people in less space. Rafah in the south is now bursting at the seams. No respite. Time for a humanitarian #ceasefire UNRWA

#Gaza - Israeli soldiers fired at an aid convoy as it returned from Northern Gaza along a route designated by the Israeli Army - our international convoy leader and his team were not injured but one vehicle sustained damage - aid workers should never be a target. UNRWA

"Enormous concern, fear in Rafah in the last 48 hours - we've seen some very heavy airstrikes" @TomWhiteGaza tells Al Jazeera English there is huge concern of an offensive in Rafah southern📍#Gaza - where the population is now 6 times more than before the war & one Gaza's poorest areas.

Philippe Lazzarini (@unlazzarini) 's Twitter Profile Photo

In Rafah southern #Gaza, there are 1.4 million people - tens of kilometres of people living in the streets in plastic makeshift shelters. A military offensive in the middle of these completely exposed, vulnerable people is a recipe for disaster. I am almost becoming wordless.
