Almost all housing in Gaza has been destroyed or damaged during Israel’s war on Hamas, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
Some 436,000 housing units — 92% of Gaza’s homes — have been affected, with 160,000 destroyed and 276,000 severely or partially damaged, OCHA said.
Additionally, more than 1.8 million people are in urgent need of emergency shelter and essential household items.
The UN said on its website that approximately 90% of the population across Gaza have been displaced, many of whom have been forced to move repeatedly, “some 10 times or more.”
