(MENAFN- Caribbean News Global) JORDAN / GAZA CITY – No place is safe in Gaza. No one is safe. Airstrikes in Gaza City and the north are intensifying. More and more people are forced to leave, disoriented and uncertain, heading into the unknown.

Only in the past four days, 10 UNRWA buildings have been hit in Gaza City. This includes seven schools and two clinics currently used as shelters for thousands of displaced people.

We were forced to stop health care in Beach Camp, the only health care available north of Wadi Gaza.

Our vital water and sanitation services are now only at half capacity.

Our teams - 11,000 in total - continue to provide critical services in other parts of northern Gaza and the rest of the Gaza Strip.

They are committed to serving their communities against all odds, while living under the most inhumane circumstances.

Their determination in the face of their most inhumane circumstances is an inspiration.

How much longer until action is taken to reach a ceasefire now?

UNRWA is the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East. The United Nations General Assembly established UNRWA in 1949 with a mandate to provide humanitarian assistance and protection to registered Palestine refugees in the Agency's area of operations pending a just and lasting solution to their plight.

UNRWA operates in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria.

Tens of thousands of Palestine refugees who lost their homes and livelihoods due to the1948 conflict continue to be displaced and in need of support, nearly 75 years on.

UNRWA helps Palestine Refugees achieve their full potential in human development. It does this through quality services it provides in education, health care, relief and social services, protection, camp infrastructure and improvement, microfinance, and emergency assistance. UNRWA is funded almost entirely by voluntary contributions.
