The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Aid (UNOCHA) on Thursday launched a humanitarian appeal for $502 million to support more than 1.6 million Palestinians in the occupied territories.
“The Humanitarian Response Plan for 2023 estimates that 2.1 million Palestinians across the occupied Palestinian territory need humanitarian assistance,” UNOCHA shared.
The UNOCHA noted that the 2023 Humanitarian Response Plan estimates that 2.1 million Palestinians require assistance.
It stated that they represent 58 per cent of the population in Gaza and a quarter of the Palestinians living in the occupied West Bank.
