Gaza Strip, the United Nations said, as heavy Israeli bombardments continue to hit the Palestinian enclave. «Mass displacement across the Gaza Strip continues,» the UN humanitarian agency OCHA said in a statement sent on Thursday. By late Wednesday, the number of displaced people in Gaza had risen by an additional 75,000 people from the figure given 24 hours earlier, reaching 338,934, it said. The announcement came as Israel pounded Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip — a densely populated enclave of 2.3 million people — in response to the militants' surprise Saturday attack. Israeli forces said 1,200 people, most of them civilians, were killed in the onslaught — the worst in the country's history. In Gaza, officials reported more than 1,000 people have been killed in Israel's sustained campaign of air and artillery strikes. OCHA 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, neighbours and a church and other facilities in Gaza City. OCHA said that around 3,000 people had already been displaced within the enclave prior to Saturday's attack. The bombing campaign has destroyed or rendered uninhabitable at least 2,540 housing units in Gaza, OCHA said, citing numbers from the Gaza Ministry of Public Works and Housing.

My wife and I are both 34 years old and live with my parents in a flat in our native town. We had taken a joint home loan of ₹30 lakh to buy the flat for my parents.

World Bank's new president, Ajay Banga, said Wednesday that the global lender must become «better» and «bigger» to boost its capacity to help developing countries battle climate change, poverty and pandemics. Banga, who was appointed in June, made his plea at the annual meetings of the IMF and World Bank in the southern Moroccan city of Marrakesh where reform of the Washington-based institutions is a major agenda item. The former CEO of Mastercard has previously vowed to «fix the plumbing» at the bank, saying it was «dysfunctional» despite a dedicated staff. Banga said at a press conference on Wednesday that a «deep cultural change» is needed at an «institution that has a proud history and done an amazing job over the last 78 years.» He noted that countries have to deal with various departments and that it can take 27 months between the time a project is discussed and is finally approved. «The idea of a better bank is a bank that works better with itself, is more efficient in its own processes,» Banga said. The Indian-born, naturalised US citizen has vowed to made climate change a top priority after he took over from David Malpass, a former US Treasury official who stepped down early from his five-year term amid questions about his stance on the issue.

He said poverty, pandemics and climate change were «almost like a perfect storm» that can no longer be treated separately. Oscar Soria, campaign director for the non-profit Avaaz, said the IMF and World Bank are not moving fast enough. «While changes are promised, they are too incremental, timid and slow,» Soria told AFP, adding that countries hit by several crises
