Israel's forcible displacement orders cover 15 percent of Gaza, UN says

The United Nations said on Tuesday that Israel's forcible displacement orders now encompass 15 percent of the Gaza Strip, roughly the same size as Manhattan in New York City. 

"Families are forced to move - again. Resources are running out, and nowhere is safe," the UN said. 

The UN said earlier that at least 142,000 Palestinians have been displaced since Israel resumed its attacks on Gaza.
