About 1.4 mn Gaza residents displaced due to Israeli invasion

TEHRAN, Oct. 21 (MNA) – The number of internally displaced persons in the Gaza Strip increased to 1.4 mln people, the United Nations Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said.

"About 1.4 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) are estimated in Gaza," the Office said.

More than 544,000 individuals are now in emergency shelters "in increasingly dire conditions," it added, TASS reported.

The Israeli regime launched the war on Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas waged the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity in response to the Israeli regime's decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.

Since the start of the Israeli aggression, thousands of Palestinians have been killed and injured.
