Nearly one million people estimated to be in Gaza city, where famine has been confirmed, are facing daily bombardment and compromised access to means of survival after the Israeli military placed the entire city under a displacement order.

Statement by the Humanitarian Country Team in the occupied Palestinian territory*

Statement on the Occupied Palestinian Territory by Tom Fletcher, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Israel’s latest displacement order against Palestinians in Gaza City comes two weeks since famine was confirmed in Gaza, and amid a massive military offensive. There is a narrow window – until the end of September – to prevent famine from spreading to Deir al Balah and Khan Younis. That window is now closing fast.

Beit Ijza is a small Palestinian village in the West Bank, near Jerusalem. Over the years, its residents have seen the Israeli Barrier and Israeli settlements built around their community, often on top of their confiscated farmlands. They live under the constant threat of land confiscation, demolitions, movement restrictions, and settler violence.
