Gaza Strip is now "one of the most dangerous places in the world," UNRWA says

The situation in Gaza is "getting worse each minute" with a new wave of refugees in the south displaced by Israeli bombardment, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees said Wednesday.

"There is no 'safe' zone, the entire #GazaStrip has become one of the most dangerous places in the world. There is nowhere to go as shelters, including @UNRWA, are overflowing," the UN body said on X, formerly known as Twitter. 

Humanitarian organization Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) called for an immediate end to "indiscriminate and relentless attacks," on Gaza.

"Forcible displacement must stop now. Assaults on hospitals and medical staff must stop now. Restrictions on aid and the siege must stop now," it wrote on social media platform X.
