Hamas says UN agency complicit in ‘forced displacement’ of Palestinians
Palestinian Territories – AFP
Hamas on Wednesday accused the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees of “colluding” with Israel in the “forced displacement” of residents of Gaza.
“UNRWA and its officials bear responsibility for this humanitarian catastrophe, in particular the residents of the Gaza (City) area and north of it” who are following instructions to flee, said Salama Maruf, head of the media bureau of Hamas.
The invading Israeli military has told Palestinians in the north to move south as it battles Hamas in Gaza City.
An UNRWA spokeswoman did not immediately respond when contacted by AFP about the Hamas accusation.
The UN previously said 1.5 million of the 2.4 million people living in the densely populated coastal territory have been displaced by the Israeli attacks.
The health ministry in Gaza said Wednesday Israel has killed more than 10,500 people, more than half of them women and children.
