Ninety-four percent of Gaza's 2.1 million residents need shelter, UN News reported Thursday, as Israeli gunfire and strikes continue across the enclave. The figure reflects cumulative destruction from months of military operations that have damaged or destroyed vast portions of residential areas throughout the territory.
Israel is simultaneously accelerating demolitions in Lebanon, adding to the displacement crisis unfolding on two fronts. UN agencies and peacekeepers issued the warning as fighting persists, with no immediate relief in sight for civilians caught in active conflict zones seeking basic housing and protection.
