Beijing, August 24 (Xinhua) -- Mohanad Hadi, the United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator for the Occupied Palestinian Territory, recently said that since the outbreak of a new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict, about 90% of the population in the Gaza Strip have been forced to leave their homes. In addition, the World Health Organization called for a humanitarian ceasefire in the Gaza Strip to vaccinate local children against polio.

Israel continues to advance its military operations in the Gaza Strip. According to data from the Gaza Strip Health Department, more than 40,000 Palestinians have died in Israeli operations. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said that Israel has issued 13 evacuation orders in August, requiring Gaza residents to leave the designated areas on the grounds of military operations.

Late on the 22nd, Hadi, the United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator for the Occupied Palestinian Territory, said that Israel's continued evacuation orders did not bring protection to the civilians in the Gaza Strip. On the contrary, people were forced to wander around under the bombardment, carrying only a small amount of supplies. There were fewer and fewer places to go, which were overcrowded and, like other places in the Gaza Strip, their safety was not guaranteed.
