Key Points
The Gaza Strip
- Intense fighting in/around Khan Younis (southwest of Gaza) over the last six days is causing loss of lives and damage to civilian infrastructure, including UNRWA's largest shelter in the southern area, the Khan Younis Training Centre (KYTC).
- As of 27 January 2024, the total number of UNRWA colleagues killed since the beginning of hostilities has increased by one and is now 152.
- As of 22 January, up to 1.7 million people (over 75 per cent of the population) have been displaced across the Gaza Strip, some multiple times.
