At least 130,000 Palestinians uprooted by Israel's attacks on northern Gaza in last weeks, UN says

Israel's attacks on northern Gaza in recent weeks have uprooted an additional 130,000 Palestinians, the head of the UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees, Philippe Lazzarini, wrote on Thursday on X. 

"Women are being separated from men and ordered to walk with their children. Many are seeking shelter in abandoned homes and destroyed clinics or shops. Some sleep out in the open. They are scared and exposed to gender-based violence, abuse and disease," Lazzarini added. 

Lazzarini added that at least 70 percent of Palestinians killed by Israeli strikes are women and children.
