The UN high commissioner for refugees, Filippo Grandi, has warned that any escalation or continuation of military activities in the Gaza Strip would be catastrophic for the people there. Grandi expressed concern about the ongoing conflict between Hamas and Israel, stating that the consequences of the conflict spreading into Lebanon and other neighboring countries would be incalculable. He also highlighted the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza, with over one million people displaced and funding for the UNHCR's activities at only 42 percent. Grandi made these comments while seeking funding for the UNHCR's work supporting displaced people worldwide.
