JAKARTA - The United Nations Aid and Work Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) said on Wednesday families in the Gaza Strip faced dire conditions due to repeated evacuations, reaffirming "the urgent need for an immediate ceasefire."

"At Deir al-Balah in the center of the Gaza Strip, and throughout the Gaza Strip, families continue to face dire conditions," the UN agency said in a post on social media X, quoted from WAFA December 5.

He explained that these families continued to flee because of the ongoing shooting, continuing to seek refuge in overcrowded UNRWA schools and temporary tents, struggling to access basic needs.

"The urgent need for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, and ensuring unobstructed access to humanitarian aid that meets ever-increasing needs," UNRWA exclaimed.

It is known that the aggression, which has been carried out by the occupation since October 7, 2023, has forced about two million residents of the Gaza Strip, which numbered about 2.3 million Palestinians, to flee in tragic conditions with food shortages, water and intentional and severe medicines.

Starvation has spread across much of the Gaza Strip as a result of ongoing aggression, particularly in the north, following constant genocide and hunger to force residents to migrate to the south.

Meanwhile, Gaza's health authorities confirmed on Wednesday that the death toll from Palestine since the latest conflict broke out last year has reached 44.532, as well as 105.538 injured.
