Earlier UN chief Antonio Guterres highlighted the “complete breakdown” of public order resulting from Israel’s incessant attacks on Gaza.
On the Gaza side of the border, makeshift shelters and family homes are already overflowing and many are sleeping in the streets. On the other side, thousands of Egyptian troops have deployed to prevent any mass influx of refugees, which Egypt says would undermine its decades-old peace treaty with Israel.
The UN says some 1.87 million people – more than 80 percent of the population – have already fled their homes. Many Palestinians fear they will not be allowed to return.
