The United Nations announced that 124,000 people have been displaced again after Israel resumed its attacks on the Gaza Strip and issued “evacuation orders.”
This was stated by UN spokesman Stéphane Dujarric during his daily press briefing.
Dujarric explained that the ongoing Israeli airstrikes, “evacuation orders,” and the continued withholding of humanitarian aid have exacerbated the situation in the Strip. He added, “Everything in Gaza is running out: time, life, materials, everything is running out.”
He noted that the resumption of Israeli attacks on Gaza has displaced 142,000 people and that the “evacuation orders” cover 17 percent of the Strip.
He stated that Israel is not allowing UN humanitarian aid to pass through and is constantly placing obstacles to prevent it from reaching those in need. On March 1, 2025, the first phase of a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement between Hamas and Israel ended. The agreement, brokered by Egypt and Qatar and supported by the United States, entered into force on January 19, 2025.

While Hamas adhered to the terms of the first phase, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court, renounced the start of the second phase in deference to extremists in his ruling coalition, according to Hebrew media.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with American support, has been committing genocidal crimes in Gaza, leaving a total of more than 164,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 14,000 missing.
Israel has been blockading Gaza for the 18th year, leaving approximately 1.5 million of its 2.4 million citizens homeless after their homes were destroyed in the war of extermination. The Strip has entered the first stages of famine due to Tel Aviv’s closure of the crossings to humanitarian aid.
