The United Nations announced Tuesday that over 187,000 Gazans have fled their homes after three days of Israeli airstrikes, the largest internal displacement in Gaza since 2014. More than 137,000 are sheltering in 83 UN schools, while 41,000 have been taken in by families. The number is expected to increase as strikes continue. The UN agency for Palestinians said its Gaza field office suffered collateral damage from strikes. Nearly half a million Gazans have been unable to receive UN food rations this week with distribution centers closed. The mass displacement highlights the growing humanitarian crisis as the conflict escalates. (Image Courtesy: UNRWA on X)
