Situation Overview
Tens of thousands of Palestinians from northern and central Gaza have fled their homes, following warnings from the Israeli military, with more than 18,000 individuals taking shelter in 21 UNRWA schools. In addition, 8,200 people have been displaced following the destruction or the damage to their homes.
