Tue Apr 08 00:01:00 UTC 2025: ## UN: Nearly 400,000 Gazans Displaced Amid Renewed Israeli Offensive
**Gaza City, April 8, 2025** – The United Nations has reported that nearly 400,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been displaced since Israel resumed military operations, exacerbating a humanitarian crisis already strained by months of conflict. Spokesman Stephane Dujarric stated that survivors are facing repeated displacement, pushing them into increasingly confined areas with inadequate access to basic necessities.
This displacement adds to the already substantial number of Gazans who were displaced earlier in the conflict, which began in October 2023. The UN estimates that much of Gaza’s 2.4 million population had already been displaced at least once between the October 7th initial attack and a January ceasefire.
In a joint statement, the heads of several key UN agencies—including OCHA, WHO, UNICEF, and WFP—urged world leaders to take decisive action to uphold international humanitarian law. They highlighted the dire situation, noting that vast numbers of Gazans are trapped, facing bombardment and starvation, while vital supplies remain blocked at crossing points due to Israel’s ongoing humanitarian and commercial blockade. The agencies directly refuted claims of sufficient food supplies in Gaza, stating that commodities are critically low. The statement concludes by condemning the ongoing violence as a blatant disregard for human life.
