UN: Gazans Have Little Space Left to Go

United Nations (UN) said that many Palestinians in Gaza have obeyed Israeli army evacuation orders and sought safety in designated areas only to find there is little space left in the densely populated strip.

Gemma Connell, team leader for the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, described the situation in the Gaza Strip as a "human chessboard". 

She noted that thousands of people, displaced many times already, are on the run again and there is no guarantee a destination will be safe.

"I've spoken to many people. There's so little space left here in Rafah that people just don't know where they will go and it feels like people are being moved around a human chessboard because there's an evacuation order somewhere. People flee that area into another area. But they're not safe there," said Connell.
