The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNHCR) said that about 1.7 million Palestinians have been displaced inside Gaza due to Israel’s war against the people of Palestine.

Iran PressAmerica: UNHCR spokeswoman Ravina Shamdasani said during a press conference at the United Nations office in Geneva on Tuesday that “resolving the catastrophic situation experienced by civilians in Gaza must remain a priority.”

She added, "There are about 1.7 million forcibly displaced people in Gaza. These people live in terrifying conditions and under constant threat."

“In the past week alone, fighting has intensified in Middle Gaza leading to the displacement of some 10,000 people from in and around a Nuseirat camp and near Wadi Gaza,” Shamdasani said. 

"The Israeli security forces must immediately put an end to their active participation and support for colonists attacks against Palestinians," she added.

At least 33,843 Palestinians have been killed and 76,575 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7.
