UNRWA: Claim of Safe Zones in Gaza ‘False and Misleading’

Israel’s war on besieged Gaza, now in its 219th day, has killed at least 35,034 people — 70 percent of them babies, children and women — and wounded over 78,755.
Commissioner-general of the UN agency for Palestine refugees (UNRWA) has expressed concern over the persistent displacement of Palestinians from their homes, suggesting there are no safe zones in Gaza.
“The Israeli authorities continue to issue forced displacement orders also known as ‘evacuation orders’. This is forcing people in Rafah to flee anywhere and everywhere,” Philippe Lazzarini said on X.
He said that since war began last October, most people in Gaza have moved multiple times, and “desperately sought safety that they never found.”
“The claim of ‘safe zones’ is false and misleading. No place is safe in Gaza. Period,” he added.
