Thousands of families in Gaza were once again on the move on Monday after Israel issued new evacuation orders in Khan Younis.

The UN Palestine refugee agency, UNRWA continues to assist people across the embattled enclave where “no place is safe” after 10 months of war, according to Communications Director Juliette Touma.

She spoke to UN News’s Abdelmonem Makki about UNRWA’s work in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, where the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has reported a shocking rise in the number of youngsters killed since October.

Ms. Touma began by speaking about how a UN convoy was hit by heavy shooting while heading to Gaza City on Sunday.
