“Now, Rafah is the epicenter of the displacement of Gazans. This is where over 1 million people have fled to the Governate, and most of them have been moved more than once since the beginning of the war.”
“Rafah has quadrupled its number of people overnight,” he explained.
The UN official confirmed that “the number of UNRWA employees killed in Gaza has risen to 135.”
In Gaza, he continued, “everywhere you look, is congested with makeshift shelters. Everywhere you go, people are desperate, hungry and terrified.”
The Global Refugee Forum 2023 is being held from 13-15 December at the Palexpo Centre in the Swiss city of Geneva.
The forum is considered the largest international event in the world regarding refugees, where the world comes together to address challenges and find long-term solutions for more than 114 million forcibly displaced people, including 36 million refugees.
