The plight of Palestinian refugees, hemmed in and cut off by Israeli combat operations in Gaza, is becoming more acute as infrastructure is destroyed and civilian deaths rise in the wake of a cease-fire that ended last week, aid officials said Monday.

"People have lost everything and they need everything," UNRWA, the United Nations relief agency that aids Palestinian, said in a post on X (formerly Twitter). "Gaza's population will soon begin dying from diseases as well as Israeli bombardment."

More than 15,000 Palestinians have been killed since the start of the conflict, according to the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health. That figure includes more than 6,000 children and 4,000 women.
