GENEVA: The United Nations refugee chief said on Wednesday that he foresees more displacement in the Middle East due to the conflict between Israel and Hamas that has internally displaced 85% of Gaza’s population.
“The events that have occurred in Israel and Gaza since the 7th of October are outside the mandate of UNHCR,” Filippo Grandi, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, said at the Global Refugee Forum in Geneva.
Israel says 8 more soldiers died in Gaza fighting, including regiment commander
“Tragically, however, we foresee more civilian deaths and suffering and also further displacement that threatens the region.”
