The Philippines has placed Gaza under Alert Level 3 amid the ongoing reprisal strikes by Israel, Department of Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Eduardo de Vega said Thursday. Alert Level 3 means voluntary repatriation. There are 137 Filipinos in Gaza, De Vega told GMA Integrated News.
said nearly 220,000 people, or two-thirds of the displaced people, have sought shelter in schools run by the UN agency supporting Palestinian refugees, UNRWA. Another nearly 15,000 people fled to schools run by the Palestinian Authority, while more than 100,000 were being sheltered by relatives, neighbors and a church and other facilities in Gaza City.
said that around 3,000 people had already been displaced within the enclave prior to Saturday's attack. Attack Hamas militants carried out their deadliest attack in Israel's history on Saturday, when gunmen rampaged through Israeli towns, killing more than 1,000 people and taking scores of hostages to Gaza. Israel has retaliated with air strikes on Gaza that have razed entire districts as it prepares for a possible ground offensive.
